Should 'Upskirting' Photos Be Illegal in Mass.?

The Massachusetts Supreme Court this week ruled that an Andover man charged with taking photos up the skirts of women riding the Boston subway did not violate state law.

Michael Robertson was arrested in August 2010. Police set up a sting operation after receiving reports that he was taking upskirt photos, according to WCVB-TV.

The court ruled that Robertson did not violate the law because the women were not nude, according to WCVB.

In response, two women belonging to The Brave Girls Alliance, an advocacy group, started a petition demanding that upskirt photos be made illegal.

"They are a gross violation of privacy," wrote Rebecca Hains and Lori Day. "Other states including New York and Florida have explicit laws criminalizing public upskirting. Massachusetts needs to correct this oversight quickly."
