5:28Now Playing"It is not against the law to secretly take photographs up a woman's skirt in Massachusetts, the state's Supreme Judicial Court ruled Wednesday. The court dismissed charges against Michael Robertson, who was arrested by Boston transit police for taking photos and videos up multiple women's skirts or dresses on the subway.
The judges sympathized with the notion that a woman should be able to have a reasonable expectation not to have secret photos taken up her skirt when she goes out in public, but ruled that current state law does not address that. Massachusetts' "Peeping Tom" laws, as written, only protect women from being photographed in dressing rooms or bathrooms when they are undressed. Since upskirt photos are taken of fully clothed women in public, they don't count, according to the court.
"A female passenger on a MBTA trolley who is wearing a skirt, dress, or the like covering these parts of her body is not a person who is `partially nude,' no matter what is or is not underneath the skirt by way of underwear or other clothing," the court wrote."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
