I agree that if an individual is going to dress "to kill" as they say,
they will probably get attention, they are just going to have to
expect that. Its hard to tell from the story, but I doubt if that was
the case in the photographs in question. In my estimation, they were
taken of children and women in vulnerable positions. And if they were
to be asked if it was ok to take a picture of their crotches when they
were sitting down, they would probably answer no.
Perhaps the cheerleaders at the football game thought they were at least
warm, if not hot?
Perhaps you don't have a clue beyond the vague and quite likely
deliberately inflammatory descriptions of the pictures in the news
stories as to precisely what was being photographed?
Perhaps you dont have a(ny) daughter(s)? :-O
I suspect that no one on this list has access to the photographs in
question, yet the discussion has proceeded in a deliberately
inflammatory way assuming the photographer's rights have been violated
and not his subjects. Having daughters makes you realize that there is
potentially more than one side to this story.
It goes both ways. I dont believe that we can draw a conclusion either
way. You may be right, but since I have a reasonable expectation of the
police in my area to interpret this statute correctly, I'm more inclined
to believe my interpretation. And given the typical psychological
profile of serial rapists and killers, I would rather err on that side
rather than risk an individual like this finally acting out his
fantasies on innocent lives.
