Shoe camera explodes, thwarting upskirt-video plan

[left-of-center2012]

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Police in Wisconsin say a man’s plan to take videos up the skirts of women was thwarted when his shoe camera exploded.

Madison Police Chief Mike Koval said in his daily blog that the 32-year-old man wanted to turn himself in to police on Tuesday. But the man wasn’t arrested because he hadn’t taken any videos before the camera’s battery fizzled.

Koval wrote that the man’s foot was injured when the battery exploded. The chief added that the man was “counseled on his actions” and released because no video had been taken.

WKOW-TV reports that police say the investigation continues. A police spokesman says authorities don’t know why the man wanted to turn himself in.

4. Next time, eat the battery first.

Save us all a lot of time and effort prosecuting a criminal.

5. The exploding camera was God telling him not to do this? Who knows...

what's going on the minds of guys who do such things.

6. Sure hope he toes the line going forward

8. He chose the wrong platform and probably should have pumped himself up a bit more

Before attempting such a feat.

9. Sounds like he must have a curiously sad, even impoverished, libido. Where would be the beauty in

the sight of a girl's legs and drawers from that angle .... even of the most beautiful woman in the world ?

I remember getting a very dirty look from a young woman - looked like student - in the Central Library in Edinburgh, decades ago now, as I had unwittingly sat down at a table under a smart wooden staircase that was kind of skeletal. I'd wondered why nobody else was sitting there. And you know the way you always know when someone is looking at you, particularly, staring, even if you can't see them ! I must have sensed her glaring down at me. At least, I hope so.... !!!

18. It's not the beauty. It's the charge he gets from doin' what he ain't supposed to.

10. He came forward to heal his sole. nt

12. There is a weird joke in somewhere in this situation

[nolabear]

14. Read upthread.

[empedocles]

19. I had read upthread,

but given my confidence in DU, I opaquely suggested we had not yet found the sufficiently 'weird' take, that would have 'legs'.

[nolabear]

20. True dat. 😄

[WhiskeyGrinder]

15. "A police spokesman says authorities don't know why the man wanted to turn himself in."

Because he knows he needs help and doesn't know who to ask? JFC.

16. Does this mean we have to remove our shoe cameras...

At the airport

21. His mark must have had an electrifying personality or was one smokin' hot lady.

23. Tell me. What sane guy would do something like that? nt
