The social benefit of upskirting

Nearly thirty years ago a junior RAF officer crawled up to some lady sitting on a bench at Ascot and using a camera attached to a pole was able to photograph the covered parts of the lady. For this he was found guilty of a crime.

But this seems to me to have been a miscarriage of justice in that if the lady in question was wearing nickers no intrusion could have occurred and if she was not our gallant young man would have identified a gross breach of the laws relating to public decency.

Needless to add the officer was ejected from the RAF. I suppose this was because the knees and elbows of his suit showed unremovable grass stains and that the rights of batmen should be protected.

I could not get hold of Harriet Harman to checker her point of view.
