State law prohibiting 'upskirt photos' thrown out
A state law banning "improper photography" in public is no longer valid. The state's highest criminal court threw out the law as a violation of free-speech rights. Essentially, giving anyone the right to take photos of you and your children in public without your consent.The decision stemmed from a 2011 case involving a man criminally charged after taking photos of children in their swimsuits at SeaWorld.

Until an improved law is signed by Governor Wendy Davis, I expect to hear numerous reports of women smashing cameras and chasing upskirt pervs in the near future.
