The use of mobile phone cameras to take peeping tom photos that can be posted on the internet has prompted a call for tighter regulations and clearer guidelines for consumers, reports smh.com
"The Australian Computer Society, which represents more than 16,000 IT professionals, will ask phone manufacturers to do more to alert consumers to changes in the law and to discourage rogue users from taking photos up women's skirts. Known as "upskirting", the practice is becoming increasingly prevalent.
Anyone found to have taken a photo or filmed someone without their consent in a state of undress or engaged in a private act such as bathing or having sex faces two years in jail. Manufacturers Samsung and Sony Ericsson are considering putting information on phone packs to alert people to the change."
