Public's Privates Ruled Private In Public

To counter a Washington State Supreme Court Ruling that people have no reasonable expectation of privacy in their privates when in public, the city of Seattle has passed an ordinance banning "upskirt" photos.

Under the new law "recording or transmitting images of another person's intimate areas" in a public place without their consent would result in a fine of up to $5,000 or up to one year in jail.

Ed. recalls that back in the day it also would have been punishable by a punch in the photographer's nose.
