I got a sense of somebody being too close. It rocked my whole sense of security. A law will take effect today addressing the practice of secretly taking pictures up a woman's skirt or down her shirt. The new law increases the penalties for the offense, which has been prosecuted under a voyeurism law. Most states have laws that prohibit taking pictures of people in places where people expect privacy, such as dressing rooms or restrooms.
Similar legislation is pending in New York.
Supporters of these laws say several Web sites are devoted to the practice of filming unsuspecting women.
