This is part of the bill going infront of the lords
71 Voyeurism

(a) for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, he observes another
person (B) doing a private act or looks at a moving or still image of B
doing such an act,
(b) he knows that B does not consent to being observed or (as the case may
be) to the image being looked at, for his sexual gratification, and
(c) where the image is of B doing such an act on an earlier occasion, he
knows that, while doing the act, B did not consent to the act being
recorded with a view to an image of the act becoming available for the
sexual gratification of A, a class of persons to which A belongs, or
persons generally.
(2) For the purposes of this section, a person is doing a private act if the person is
in a structure which, in the circumstances, would reasonably be expected to

(3) In this section, ?structure? includes a tent, vehicle or vessel or other temporary

(4) A person commits an offence if he instals or operates equipment, or constructs
or adapts a structure or part of a structure, with the intention of enabling
himself or another person to commit an offence under subsection (1).
(5) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable?
(a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6
months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both;
(b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding

If I have a picture and I didn't know the person consented then potentially I could be committing this 'crime'. How does it operate with the press? The video of Jordan could be causing a lot of crime.

Does this mean that Tony Blair is just about to criminalise 3 million Sun readers who look at pictures of topless celebs on a beach?
They will be pleased.
Just a thought: those new carriers announced today could prove useful prison hulks when they start locking-up the above.

If they are 3 million MALES then they will be 'Called Up'for war-you will be able to look at your SUN when driving your tank across the desert...
Your Country needs you.
Looking at nude women will be a treat only approved by the government.
First,clean your boots and give your gun a 'pullthrough',and stand to attention when your spoken too.

Re: o/t clause 71 -Voyeurism
Think of the huge number of candid "upskirt" pics of celebs that appear in newspapers and magazines and the internet. If a photographer snaps a shot of some celebrity showing her knickers or flange whilst getting out of her limo at an awards ceremony is he a criminal? I have seen candid vids for sale filmed up girls skirts in shopping centres etc so if I bought one would I be a criminal rather than just a harmless perv?
I think that Blunkett needs a kick up the arse the bearded twat.
