Man surrenders to Palo Alto police after taking photos under women's skirts (http://www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/news/6154609.htm)
A Redwood City man was more interested in looking under women's skirts than under the hoods of classic cars Sunday at Palo Alto's annual Concours D'Elegance car show, police said Monday.
With a camera lens hidden in the laces of his shoe and wires carrying the image up his pant leg to a digital video camera in his hands, James Rochelle Rich, 56, recorded the underwear of several unsuspecting women, said Palo Alto police Agent Dan Ryan. Rich wore a fanny pack to conceal his wiring, and had a battery strapped to his leg, Ryan said.Peeping Tom goes high-tech (http://www.wthr.com/Global/story.asp?S=1333651&nav=9TaiGXlv)
West Lafayette, June 23 - In WalMart in West Lafayette, just browsing put a man in jail "on the charge of voyeurism," says West Lafayette Police Captain Mike Francis.
Inside WalMart while women focused on shopping, 31-year-old Darryl Carter focused on something else. Captain Francis says shoppers "observed Mr. Carter following a female around different aisles."
Police say Carter stayed in camera range of a female Purdue student up close for a close up.
"When the witnesses looked a little closer they noticed what appeared to be a camera attached to his foot," explains Francis.
Police say the man admitted taking a small digital camera, attached some wires and through a hole in his pocket run the camera down through his pants and somehow attached it to his shoe.
Then he just walked around the store, allegedly aiming it up women's skirts. That camera on his show allegedly shot short 10 second videos. With him was a six-year-old son.Buono hopes to change voyeurism laws (http://www.news12.com/NewCDA/articles/article_detail/0,5942,&rid%3D12®ion%3DNJ&tab%3Dtopstories&id%3D56216,00.html)
WEST WINDSOR - Many traditional peeping Toms have gone high-tech, becoming video voyeurs, something that is not illegal in New Jersey. However, some Trenton lawmakers are trying to change this law, and put these spies behind bars.
Technology has given people the tools to invade places that most of us consider private. Rutgers police recently arrested a male student for capturing his roommate and his roommate's girlfriend on video using a computer camera.
Assemblywoman Barbara Buono (D - District 18) has now introduced legislation that would make video voyeurism a third-degree offense, punishable by 3 to 5 years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines. New Jersey is one of many states trying to adopt such a law.Pools ban camera phones to deter peeping Toms (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/06/11/1055220656659.html)
Mobile telephones will be banned from changerooms in hundreds of gyms, pools and sports centres across Australia because of fears that peeping Toms will misuse new-generation camera-phones.
The Royal Life Saving Society has warned all pool operators that the phones "allow those with devious minds to record images electronically, or to transmit these images directly onto their personal computer or even the internet".
Most new mobile phones include still cameras, and many can also record video.
The warning may be extended to restrict any recording device within a pool complex, said the chief executive of the society's NSW branch, David Macallister.
Under one proposal, parents would need written permission to video children at swimming carnivals, he said.
