Why the Upskirting Law is a waste of Time

Do we really need a law to stop people from shoving a camera up skirts? We know it’s wrong and that it’s immoral and a direct invasion of their privacy. But if we need a law against it; then it just goes to show how antiqued our laws are and how we police them. Surely this would fall under a definition of intentional harassment as it causes alarm and distress under the Public Order Act of 1986? Furthermore, the objections to the current proposals have been overblown by the media as the MP claims that the government pushed the law through during a time that reserved for backbenchers to speak. The fact that he chose to object this particular law has the potential to brand the MP as a pervert as it was done in the wrong context. But if we do need a special law for upskirting then I think that our laws need a complete overhaul and that we’ve relied on people being moral and decent for far too long.
