Upskirting comes to Arlington (Texas) and makes Newsweek

Arlington (Texas) police are issuing a warning about criminals secretly photographing women --- and even young girls -- and then sharing those images on the Internet.

"In fact, officials said they are investigating several cases that occurred during the past year.

Investigators said men armed with hidden cameras are preying on victims in public places -- like a shopping mall -- when they least expect it.

Arlington police are using a relatively new law called "Improper Photography or Visual Recording" to prosecute several cases that allegedly took place at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor.

Experts fear many cases go unreported because most women never discover that they have been victimized."

Newsweek has a story this week on upskirting and the rewritten laws to protect citizen against Video voyeurism in today's technological age (the new federal law is "the Video Voyeurism Prevention Act of 2004".)
