I’m going to play devil’s advocate here and suggest that this is telling as to how men view women. Whether the photographing is legal or not should serve as a warning to women who reveal too much. These are not photos of women wearing knee length skirts or collar high blouses, these are women wearing clothing that is inappropriate for the activity for which they are engaged (yes, some are likely inconvenient shots taken at just the right time). Whether or not someone is photographing you does not mean that someone is not viewing you in an inappropriate manner; someone may still lust or have sexual thought without a picture.

The problem is people wish to dress or behave in a any manner they like without any consequence. Is it inappropriate to treat a woman who dresses like a prostitute like a prostitute? If you dress like a biker or a gangster rapper and are viewed as dangerous, is that wrong? If your local law enforcement dresses more like a Seal Team member on a op than Barney Fife is it wrong to assume he primary mission is one other than to serve and protect?

Someone will say it is wrong to judge a book by its cover, but is it? Do you invite the guy with a swastika tattooed on his forehead to Thanksgiving Dinner and act surprised when he carves something other than the turkey?

Don’t get me wrong, I love tattoos, sleazy clothing, and inappropriate messages on T shirts. Never in history have the bad, the unstable, and the foolish been so clearly labeled.

Be careful of your thoughts, for they become your words, be careful of your words for they become our action, be careful of our actions for they become our character, be careful of our character for they become our destiny.

We are a people who wish to dress and behave in any manner without consequence; it speaks volumes about our character and our ultimate destiny.

There is only one other situation.

Some creeps use tiny cameras mounted on their shoe, on a cane, etc.

If a women wears an ankle-length dress that covers to the neck and forearm, and stands waiting for the bus at a crowded bus top, and a man sitting at the bus top next to her puts his camera under her dress and takes a photo, she has done all she can to dress modestly.

The creep who took the picture is guilty of a) lusting after her and b) coveting her, as she is not his wife and he has no right to uncover her nakedness. It’s the same in that case as the creep having no right to tear her clothes off and photograph her; he has violated the women’s modesty.

But as you say, it is common today for women to wear revealing clothing, which is to say they are playing the harlot.

In those cases, both the harlot and the gawker are both committing sinful, wicked acts, which, in a Christian nation, would be against the civil law code, as the civil law code would implement Biblical legal standards.
