I agree with the judge on this one. What about down a women's shirt? Who hasn't taken a peek when some women bends over to pick something up and their breasts are exposed? If caught, the perp should be beaten to a pulp and their video equipment smashed. This could become a very expensive hobby.

Should such behavior be illegal? Of course. However, it isn't yet in that state. Laws should only be passed when there's a need, IMNHO. There's a demonstrable need now -- let the politicians earn their keep for a change. Hey, when they're passing valid laws like this they won't be able to raise taxes for a few days, right?
