Okay, that is great and all but what practical purpose would that serve to have more debate if this is a way that things carry on? I have asked a bunch of questions in this thread about potential scenarios and even though it is difficult to answer hypothetical situations in absolute answers, what is the point if a load of the questions lead to no response? All a shrug of the shoulders does is to waste more time, money and parliamentary privilege along with confusion among officers and judges and will clog up the court system more, lead to more frivolous apprehensions, more appeals and eventually a load of settlements from police. Being accused of a crime like this will lead to someone fighting back - you can't just wrongly accuse someone of being a voyeur like the numerous cases that you have cited (like Gina) that turn out not to be covered by this proposed law, in the slightest.
I give you credit though, at least you have tried your best to answer these questions, and you are not a parliamentarian so you can't even base answers on any proposed legislation yet to be forward and are not privy to it but in a broad sense, the notion of this proposal just doesn't work. It will likely pass, and never do anything other than waste time.
