While there _are_ some people that do some really despicable things out
there, this is just scary... it has the potential to stop you taking
pictures of your family/pets/sunsets down the beach, reserve. footy,
etc.

LOCAL BEACHES and other public areas could become camera-free zones
with a national working committee meeting next month to consider new
legislation. Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock said uniform laws were
needed to protect women and children at beaches, on public transport and
at sporting events.
He said unauthorised photography was "clearly a problem" and the new
laws could result in a maximum two-year jail sentence. The reforms
follow several recent well-published reports of so-called
"up-skirting".
