Florida Court: It's OK to Look up a Woman's Skirt with a Mirror, as Long as It's a Public Place

Seems to me that every woman should expect to have the under-side of her skirt perceived as providing “a reasonable expectation of privacy”. Sheesh!

Methinks the judge is a maroon.

Is it ok to pretend to drop your change and take peek as you are picking it up?

A judge that follows the law ? Snow sighted in hell !

In other news..... Former President Bill Clinton will be traveling to Florida to campaign....just as soon as he buys a mirror and some duct tape.

Isn’t there something about ‘your space ends where the next person’s begins.’ ?? The pervs have all the rights? GeezLouise.

[Cementjungle]

Then it should be OK to shove the mirror down the guy’s throat.

[messierhunter]

No expectation of privacy under your skirt, huh? Well then, I guess it’s ok to grab a video camera, mirror, and start uploading upskirt vids to youtube for the world to see! The perverts are going to go nuts with this ruling. Thanks your honor.

Nice beaver!

[Mr. Brightside]

Good news for you!

I would think the fact that she is wearing a skirt means that she expects some privacy, otherwise just go shopping in your underwear.
bonehead judge...

[messierhunter]

If by “follows the law” you mean “reinterprets ‘reasonable expectation of privacy’ to mean ‘no expectation of privacy under your own clothes,’” then yes, he “followed the law.” In reality, he’s just another idiot judge who creatively interprets the law in whatever way is necessary to let the maximum number of perverts off the hook. No reasonable person would say that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy under your own clothes. If that’s true then it shouldn’t be illegal to go around lifting up skirts intentionally, as long as the person’s body is not touched. The problem is most judges don’t seem to be reasonable people.

Nice beaver!

Thanks, I just had it stuffed this morning.

[Revolting cat!]

Nice beaver!

I see a whole new underwear line for the conservative entrepreneur.

First, black or brown underwear, not see through.

Second, a hand with a middle finger raised.

Third, they come with various comments: “If you can see this finger, you’re a perv.” “You’ll never get in here.” And the ever favorite: “F#ck You Loser.”

And for the real special occassion, shiny metallic ones that mirror back the perv’s mirror.

[Slings and Arrows]

Nice beaver!

Hit it!

Waaaalllll - hold my beer...

It's up to the legislature to change a bad or ambiguous law.
or charge the perp under a law that applies.

Do I get to take pictures of lady wearing a see-thru blouse with no bra, while she's in a Barnes and Noble ?

How about seated, legs crossed, in a mini-skirt, not wearing panties ?

When I was growing up, when something was so obviously wrong, there was always an “against public policy” out for a judge, when a law was bad or ambiguous or not on the books.
That was a long time ago, in a far-away place.
