Massachusetts’ highest court has ruled that a man accused of secretly snapping photos up a woman’s skirt on an MBTA train did not break the law.

So-called Peeping Tom laws protect people from being photographed in dressing rooms and bathrooms when nude or partially nude, but the way the law is written, it does not protect clothed people in public areas, the court said. The SJC ruling went on to suggest that the act in this case should be illegal, noting other states including New York and Florida have explicit laws criminalizing public upskirting.

I thought I was the only one who remembered such advanced techniques. Now, I suppose they’ll be putting Google Glasses on their shoes.

Such laws would discriminate against voyeurs.

Another protected class: crack photographers.
