place where the expectation of privacy is reasonable, you have it. On a
public street, you have no expectation of privacy concerning what other
people may see or hear. You do have a reasonable expectation of privacy
concerning the contents of your pocket. You have a reasonable
expectation of privacy in a stall in a public john concerning what may
be seen, but no expectation of privacy concerning what may be overheard.
Women in skirts (and Scots in kilts) have a reasonable expectation of
privacy concerning what they are wearing (or not) under their
skirts/kilts. No shoe cams allowed. (this crap was going on in Toronto
when I lived there.)

Well thats the thing. I have three daughters, and maybe their
privacy is not protected by the government when in public and
relating to these types of situations, but if I caught some perv
taking said pictures of them, you can guarantee I would exercise my
right to alter his gender without the benefit of anesthesia. I feel
that their reasonable rights to privacy would have been violated. I
would hope that laws like this are designed to do just that, protect
the privacy of individuals when out in public.
If I read Blakely's earlier post correctly, it would seem that in your
country, anyway, you don't have a reasonable right to privacy when in
public.
Perhaps that is because one of the definitions of public is that it
isn't private.
OTOH, you don't have a right to commit battery on anyone, unless they
are at least physically threatening you, or commiting battery on you.
Dont get me wrong, I love personal freedom. But freedom is a two way
street, I dont have the freedom to perform lewd acts in public,
because there is a higher level of freedom that takes precedence,
that is freedom from having to confront such an act in public. I
would not feel free if everyone had a right to do what they wanted
where they wanted, otherwise I could be spray painted by someone
wanted to create art on the street, or worse.
It could be argued that my freedom from titillation is dependant on
your daughter's dressing in a manner not designed to titillate.
