Women 1, Scumbags 0 (StumpJumper)

A few weeks ago, ZombyBoy wrote about a video voyeurism case in Massachusetts that had an unhappy ending. The perp (the woman's father) was never charged because he broke no laws. Yesterday, Governor Pataki of New York and the NY legislature came to an agreement on a new, soon to be signed law that makes video voyeurism a felony. Such a law would seem to be obvious, but few (if any) states have one. Congratulations to these law makers for doing a great job. Let's hope that this starts a trend for the rest of the country.

Woooo! Go chicks women!

Joking aside, that's great news. I hope it does become a legislative habit.

Wouldn't this make it Women 1, Scumbags 1 given the earlier Massachusetts example? but I hope this trend continues.

I read some time ago about similar situations in Japan (?) where subway cops would go around with video frequency transmitters (or some such - memory ... growing ... hazy), because there were so many perverts shooting video of women's underwear in the bathrooms and on subway cars with minicams.
