Most individuals do not wish to be exposed in this way. Accordingly, this sort of exposure is usually considered Taboo . Logically, a person who is the subject of an upskirt image and who did not consent for the image to be taken is regarded as a victim. Correspondingly, most people consider those who take upskirt images without consent with disdain. Often those who enjoy only looking at (i.e. not taking) nonconsensual upskirt images are characterized negatively as well. Some places have laws that are intended to specifically outlaw nonconsensual upskirt photography. Other places have no such laws. Arguments in favor of outlawing nonconsensual upskirt photography are generally based on claiming that it is a form of Sexual Abuse and an invasion of Privacy . Some of the arguments opposed center around Press Freedom issues, for images that are taken in public places. The claim is that press freedom requires anything shown in public be subject to the possibility of photography. Somewhat along these lines, as reported by CBS News , is the concern voiced by Florida attorney Lawrence Walters that a photojournalist who photographs an accident scene and who happens to capture a victim's undergarments could be convicted under upskirt photography laws. There are websites that promote upskirt images as Pornography . Some websites use models who get paid to pretend they are upskirt victims, but other such websites feature unaware women without their consent. While some believe these sites are degrading to women and the victims caught on film, the sites are generally considered to be "soft core", because of the nature of this kind of pornography. An alternative to these images are Downblouse images - similar to upskirt pornography but with the intent of showing a woman's Cleavage and Breasts . The advent of Cell Phone s fitted with Camera s (aka Camera Phone s) may be reason for a surge in these types of photographs on various Website s. These images are censored in the controversial program '' Maury ''. (The editing staff are aware of visible pubic regions, Camel Toe s, buttocks, and no underwear.) In Japan, upskirt photography, called Panchira in Japanese , is a criminal offense. A famous case was Kazuhide Uekusa , who attempted to peep under a High School girl's skirt with a hand Mirror at the Escalator of JR Shinagawa Station . Additionally, in Japan it is now required that all cameras, including digital, must make an audible noise when taking a picture. This law was made with clandestine panchira photos in mind, so that a woman would notice if someone was taking a picture without her consent, even if the perpetrator is using a camera phone. "Visual Only Upskirters" attempt to only see, but not photograph, a woman's underwear when she is wearing a short skirt. |
