"Speaking in a public place does not mean that the individual has no reasonable expectation of privacy,"[quote="TooGoodToCheck_, post:15, topic:77983, full:true"] Is that actually true in the US? 'cause I'm not a lawyer, but I thought it wasn't. [/quote]
An upskirt-camera perv’s defense in WA. took the position that because the women were in public, they had no expectation of privacy under their skirts.
It worked. The man was not convicted (to the sound a statewide collective “WTF?!”)
Of course the moment that loophole hit the headlines, local politicians were falling over each other to be the first to be seen to be amending the relevant law.
So… yes and no
