Wait, this wasn't already illegal?

Well, it's about bleeping time! What took them so bloody long?

This is why Ed Buck is for men wearing skirts

You mean it wasn’t a crime already ? How effed up is that ?

This actually happened to me when I was 17. Very weird experience. Apparently the guy had photos of 60+ different people on his device.

tifeh_baby Humans by nature would break any law no matter how severe the punishment.

How about we just make it legal to kick them in the face?

This is sick. Your guys know better. Be decent!

Why do we have to make laws to protect people from something that should be a no brainer to keep people from doing in the first place? Are we as a society that deviant that so many are doing it ?

I've wondered about this, as often as I see these shots. On the other hand, those who wear short skirts must surely be aware of this possibility. Not to defend it. Stop tweeting indignation, but as Marcy Kaptur said, 'Think about your own behavior.'

It wasn’t already?

Pretty sure it always has been a crime. It is just clearly defined now.

hmmmmmi don't think...... .

It should be illegal everywhere. Women should be able to walk about freely without fear of this invasion.

'On its way' to becoming a crime? Really? I would have thought we were already there...

UpRectuming, however, is still perfectly legal...

Let me catch someone doing this to my daughter and they’ll wish they were put in jail to keep me away from them.

That wasn't already a crime?

brianstelter does this

Wow ...breaking story...great journalism for special needs folks

The only people that would do such a thing would be Perferts & Filthy Phedaphiles Types.

No Show High-waist Brief Panty. It's a relief in summers, summer wind mini fluttering shirt, mini tight skirt, getting out of car

This one should be a real crime all over the will you take someone pictures with out a peamet

How is it not already?

About time to, there’s some really sick people on this planet 🌍

Why is England soooo farrrr behind America when it comes to women wearing anything Other Than pants? This is creepy and scary for all females across the pond.

Accompanied by a photo of a disembodied female lower half. Classy , & clearly completely missing the point as to why this law has been put in place.

These days u dont have to film. The skirts barely cover the butt at all leaving nothing to guess.

So it wasn't before?🤔

Ya will never see and animal up skirting but human beings especially men they cannot control themselves, Lord have Mercy 🙏🏾

Oh no! Not Upskirting!

Does it apply to backdated infractions? 😂

Been Law breaking in Australia for a long time

Laws laws laws laws...... Why?

Well it shouldn’t be a crime because Females do wear skirts for showing theirselves. Wearing a skirt means letting everyone enjoy of their legs. If someone is filming a female in skirt will not commit a crime in that sense.

On its way?

Beware the men in patent leather shoes buffer to a mirror finish

Should be?!

Didn’t you guys report this in 1999?

How is this just now becoming illegal. What a crazy world we live in.

Be prepared for 'asian' upskirt filmer arrests to increase.

it wasn't already?

How was this not a crime? I'm now worried about how it's dealt with here in the US...

It should be a crime everywhere! You mean to tell me, it isn’t 🤔🤔

About time, pervs shouldn't be given a green pass.

Upskirting whales should be criminalise as I feel like it is cultural appropriation of sea mammals which they should be entitled to decide whether they want to be sexualise or not by undergarments invasion with a camera or any visual device like one's eye or else

Should be a crime, especially for papparazzi who film women getting out of cars for that reason. It's harassment! An invasion of a person's being.

Maybe Gillette can do something about toxic masculinity while we men deal with others bad behaviors that we see. Just like we’ve always done. Sheila Jackson gets sued for fostering a rape environment. Franken gropes women even when they sleep and so many others in DNC. Politics?

I think this is greta great insult to our women

I can't believe it isn't already, and hasn't been for suck a long time.

Female toxicity, I'd argue. Wear pants

File this under why the hell has it not been illegal already?

Wait... it’s not a crime rn?

this should have been a law already

jessyoung0930 I’m going to do this to you Saturday night

Bullshit! It s known that one particular part of population tend to do it and UK is scared to prosecute them for child grooming while putting on court those who expose that publically. What a joke.

I just put my GoPro on eBay

Good.

The question is, why is this not a crime in all us states?

It's not already a crime? Is this really that widespread?

'On its way to becoming' 😳.... It is finshed !!!

Damn

This ban could have happened in June of 2018 if Tory MP Christopher Chope hadn't objected to it. That's right my American friends, that's how sick in the head some of the people running my country are.

Should be already

Lots of progress since the days when girls were blamed for giving boys a peak up their skirts if they wore patent leather shoes.

Now we just need a law to stop SJW from taking secret photos of men’s crotches while on the train. 😉

Yeah I’m surprised it isn’t

How much is a plane ticket to England from the u.s.? Asking for a friend...

I’m surprised it isn’t already

Notice 's subtle way of dismissing the plight of women? They said 'someone's' instead of 'a woman's'. They aren't doing it to men. MeToo CNNIsFakeNews

YAy

How is not Already?!

Good that will be outlawed but gone will be the days of ppl taking pics of skirts just to realise that it is a kilt and there is a big hairy pair of balls there

What about Scotland?! They need it more with all the kilts!

Technically it already is. It comes under the existing laws of sexual assaults but we have a lot of stuff going on so we need to distract the MOPs and journos from that.

How is it not a crime already?

😮

Isn't this from something like ... oh ... Animal House? When Bluto went under the bleachers to look up the cheerleaders' skirts? Seriously? It's taken THIS LONG?

Shoulda BEEN a crime a long time ago.

Prediction (almost a guarantee): The same “men” bitching about the new Gillette ad are also going to be bitching about upskirting becoming a crime.

Finally... It was about time

It's never old ladies trying to look up teen boy shorts.... we have a male problem.

Good!

Now that's downright uptight, upsetting, un- technology, uncommon for British, I am 🆙 💺

It's late and I don't want to ask Selena for help right now ? It's 1:20 so I don't know cause it's three hours less it's the prime time it would be a little awkward for people ! 🤷‍♂️😒🤒 but I can ask her tomorrow !! But I saw she or someone said BYEEE & idk 🤷‍♂️ so with the combo

It should be!

How disgusting.

It wasn't already?

Hopefully it a mandatory

Gusset's the end of the line for this kind of behaviour then.

Is there a legislative length and such required before a normal photo isn't illegal? Or is this solely at the discretion of the individual to decide if they have been violated whilst bent over with no panties and a skirt up to their hips? I'm just curious

Where are the gentlemen in the room? I'd kick anyone's behind that got near my ladies with a camera ! Try me Boys ! You never know where I'll be next time . I'm waiting on you !

danielpadilla92 😂

The fact that it's not a crime already is sickening

So this is the starting point where men starts asking women for a night directly....

about flaming time!

How has this not been a crime ? People who do this should be locked away on their own island away from everyone else

Surprising that this wasn’t a crime already. Here in Norway you can get a fine up to 400 or more pounds for taking a picture/filming someone without their consent.

Ummm it's not already!!!

Umm its NOT a skirt. Its a KILT!

diversity is their strength, right? Guess they are finding out maybe not so much

What on earth? It’s 2019. How isn’t this already a crime? Oh, right. It’s all those toxic males. That Gillette ad couldn’t be more timely. It’s misogynists who don’t like that ad who are the ones that are against upskirting being a crime.

Jesus Christ, what’s next; equal rights!!?!

Shouldn’t this already be a crime? Absolutely creepy and disgusting

who gives a happy shit? There are much more important issues than this stupid deversion

Call me naive, but hy would anyone do this!

How is this not already a crime?

The fact that it isn't already is kinda fucked up?

Oh! But why should a clear minded person do such an act.

Europe ruins everything

Ta aí, uma prática que é difícil de ver no Brasil, mas outros países já estão criando até lei contra. Não sei se é prevenção de alguma viralização, ou realmente é comum nesses lugares.

How's that not a crime already?

How bout those grooming gangs? How's that working out?

Nice picture. Just a woman's ass in a short skirt. And you top off such an objectifying clearly sexual image, with a story about what? Clever. In a creepy sort of way.

It’s a crime everywhere else! WTF took them so long?

Why the fuck wasn't it already one?

Oustanding. Throw the book at those pervs.

This has always been a crime. Oohhhh y’all never worked at Hooters 🤷🏻‍♀️

It wasn’t already?!
