UK: Upskirting to become crime carrying two-year sentence

[Independent voter]

Upskirting is to be a criminal offence after the bill passed its third reading in the House of Lords.

The campaign, started by Gina Martin, sought to make it a specific offence to take a picture under a person's clothes without their consent.

Yes, it's a crime but two years seems severe.

Two years maximum is severe? Most will never get 2 years for it.

do you actually understand the threads you post or even read them?

you don't understand taxes, or other countries in general, now you're ok with sexual harassment.

i think creeps like that need severe punishments....its like child porn or molestation of children needs to be a life sentence to deter these sick minded people

[Coombs]

You mean to tell me women wear something other than yoga pants? I don't believe it.

[Adam Jensen]

Do you understand what "maximum" sentence means?

I think two years is rather light for sexual harassment.

hubcap why don't you try reading? you know that thing 5 year olds know how to do. that thing that you seem to be unable to do.

Ya we all know it's awful. Not sure abt 2 years tho. Should just allow the woman to smack the shit out of the dude and fine him.

Also we all know how she pronounces "Gina".

I prefer the death penalty for child porn and molestation. If you prey on kids then you have no right to draw breathe.

[Sykol]

The UK...so does this only apply to non-refugees then?

[Trassk]

Better stay away from vents.

Sure, if you want to see a man's package..

[schwank05]

Is this really a problem in the UK? people walk around and just touch random strange women on the street?

But think of the advantages!

[Dundebuns]

Well, good really. I expect no man would want a gay guy taking pictures of their junk without their permission.

[The Stormbringer]

Well, good really. I expect no man would want a gay guy taking pictures of their junk without their permission.

There's kinky men and women who'd enjoy it. But yes, most people would want their consent first.

i'm fine being on the record saying the man doesn't have to be gay for me. I'm quite certain that any type of man trying to take pics of my junk without consent is a bad manners moment, one where i too will no longer be civil.
