There is a police matter that points to a loophole in the law. A man was charged with ‘upskirting’ - and his lawyer says that women do not have expectation of privacy:

“A lawyer for a Florida man who walked behind a woman and snapped a photo up her skirt with his cell phone says his client did nothing wrong.

…There’s no expectation of privacy in a public place, said William Price, Wilson’s attorney.”

Perhaps this lawyer would think differently and contend that there is ’something wrong’ if there were upskirting pictures were taken of his girlfriend, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, niece, daughter…
