Don’t get your hopes up too high. I tried the same with her mom a few years ago. Still no buyers.

What if someone did the same to the judge that handed down this absurd ruling.

Publish the results on the web alongside his legal opinion on the matter.

Almost makes me think the tin-foil-hatters are right. Between this guy and the phone-camera people, I’m thinking I might need to buy myself a burka.

Yes, but did you try selling promissory notes that you wouldn’t show them the photos if they paid you? You may have gone about this all wrong...

So being a Peeping Tom is now reasoned?

Wow. This and other judges today have a screw loose.

I don’t care what this court says, it’s voyeurism and being paid to peep. This is not what a good neighbor does who gives a damn about his neighbors feelings. I would never trust him if he lived in my area. Maybe standards are different back in his native country of Sweden

Let me make this perfectly clear and please parrot:

Bring a hidden camera into my home and publish surreptitious photos or video, cell phone or otherwise, and the price will be unbearable.

And no, you won’t be able to prove jack.

People need to work with their state and federal lawmakers to declare themselves and their homes to be copyrighted.

Cyber-voyeurism: the cameras will be on quadcopter drones, which will fly pre-programmed routes and beam back the footage in real time. Cheap enough to abandon or crash the drone and the perp will be nowhere in sight, in fact could be on the other side of the world as long as he has a confederate in the local area to manage the snooper drones.

Man looking in a window at a woman = man is a peeping tom.

start selling pictures taken inside the homes of judges, cops, and various govt types and you’ll see this rule change immediately

His use of a telephoto lens should have made it illegal, even though it may be art.
