Mass. Judge rules "upskirt" photos are legal

http://j.mp/P2AclY  (CNN)

    Massachusetts' highest court ruled Wednesday that it is not illegal to
    secretly photograph underneath a person's clothing -- a practice known
    as "upskirting" -- prompting one prosecutor to call for a revision of
    state law.  The high court ruled that the practice did not violate the
    law because the women who were photographed while riding Boston public
    transportation were not nude or partially nude.

Prediction: The fastest revision of state law in recent Massachusetts
history.
