I have been following this topic. Both males and females do provide images that will stay in the mind for a little while. However savouring that moment six months later with the aid of a camera is a self-inflicted perversion. Going on to talk, within a group, about the quality of images secured and stored - as though that activity was comparable with the production of "Blue Planet" - is something to be discouraged - by law, sensibly applied, as needed.

A while ago I was trying to learn photography while at college. The guy leading the course would bring in his copies of ‘Amateur Photographer’ magazine.

In one edition was an article, with loads of photos, basically saying that if you can’t afford to hire a model, there are plenty of pretty ladies to be photographed while you are ‘out and about’. Then there were many examples, and I have to say that a number of them merited (ahem) ‘closer inspection’ and ‘a full report in the morning’ (Reference - Woody Allen in ‘Sleeper’).

My point of course is that any law will have to be very careful to specify what candid photography is illegal and what is not. A chance shot of an inner thigh through a split skirt or of a pair of barely contained ‘puppies’ (in the vein of the regular ‘Tit Monday’ thread here on HOL) - legal or illegal? This is why law needs to be carefully considered.

For the record...I don’t deliberately take photos of strangers, but presumably AP magazine wasn’t promoting illegal activity in encouraging its readers to do so.

I would think the issue of consent will play a factor here. Did the lady give consent? If not then you may or not have committed a crime but you are on shaky ground.

I heard the journalist who started all this she was up skirted by a couple of guys at a festival. She had no idea they had taken a photo until she saw one of them waving his phone about. She grabbed it and realised that he had also shared it with his mates nearby who were all having a good laugh. She went to the police who told her as the image wasn't that explicit there was nothing they could do.

Assuming she is telling the truth this was a disgusting act by a group of men old enough to know better. Like any law it will need to be drafted so that it is not abused.

Wasn't this however the last opportunity for an objection? That's how I took the BBC's article.

Hence looking at your link that's the third reading.....However, we are told that this bill 'sailed through the house' with no debate. That would be rushed legislation.

Essentially I just want to know that this bill contains common sense provisions within it.


Edited by Stirlingsays (16 Jun 2018 1.05pm)

So you are arguing without any knowledge

The law has been in place in Scotland for nine years. It may be clear by now how it works and the new draft has learned lessons from nine years of practice

In the social media age what is done cannot be undone. This is an issue that has morphed hugely in recent years.

Ok Maple, tell me what provisions within the bill cover my concerns over teenage boys.

I am not the OP

You said punishments are ridiculously harsh. I am sure you had reason to believe so. I just haven’t seen them. Maximum sentences and practice are of course very different things. Habitual offenders, especially if children are concerned, should be dealt with harshly.

You are commenting and criticising, as is your right. The order in which it is done is moot.

So in fact you know nothing yourself. You can't answer about possible provisions so to criticise my raising of concerns about them.....Well, that's just you and your childish dislike of me.

In the light of your own lack of knowledge you are in fact a hypocrite to criticise anyone for commenting 'without knowledge'.

This is an opinion forum and it's a ridiculous point to make.

I think we know that Stirling doesn't understand the British legal system.

You’ve become a lot more patronising since puberty.

No one on this thread approves of it but some feel that a 2 year sentence is ridiculously harsh.
Obviously, if this was part of a pattern of deviant behavior toward women or a multiple offender then more stringent action should be taken but 2 years for taking a picture of someone's gusset is bonkers.

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (16 Jun 2018 11.55pm)

obviously the 2 year penatly would be for serial offenders.

i would fully expect somebody to get put on the sex offenders register for 1st offence tho.

i ask again, i dont know if you have a daughter, but what would you want doing if somebody tried to take photos of her chuff without permission?
