Looking at some of the links in that article Damien, those issues seem the most severe and some of them shouldn't even be crimes. If you are sat at a bus stop and your dress is flowy / loose it should not be a crime to take a picture of you in it, should it? If there is an upskirt...again, do you want to infringe on the right of every person taking a photograph, just in case?

Okay so we're not a million miles apart here. What about the lady who was on the tube...should it be a crime to take a picture of her if she is flashing her underwear?

Likely if that's what the person is doing and there are perverts who do precisely that.

There was a case like this in the US, too - came down to the same thing...you can't claim to have rights to airspace underneath / around you. If someone is under you (glass ceiling etc) and takes a picture and it is up your skirt surely you do not see that as a crime?
