Congratulations, Massachusetts, You May Still Legally Take Creepshot Upskirt Photos!
So let's say you are a skirt-wearing person and you would like to ride public transportation in Massachusetts. You would likely think that if someone tried to take an upskirt picture of your lacy underthings or junk swinging free or whatever you have under there, that would be illegal. Haha you are wrong.
The Supreme Judicial Court today tossed charges against a Green Line rider caught snapping photos up the skirts of female Green Line riders in 2010.
In its ruling, the state's highest court said the law used to prosecute Michael Robertson applies only to "nude" or "partially nude" women in private locations, such as bedrooms, not to clothed women - even women with no undergarments - in public places such as the T.
You are probably saying WAIT WHAT but sadly the Court is right here, even though the result sucks balls.

I know that place ... and I really do wish there were no cameras.
They do. The problem is that no legislature has ever defined that as a "place", nor has any court interpreted the law in a way that would make the definition of place in this context to include a location on the human body.
