Argh, now I understand, up-skirting is actually ok because it involves
mobile phones and shoe cameras, so they are still ok on beachs and
trams but the larger cameras that are not used for such purposes will
be made illegal to use. Hm, guess that means that if I want to fit in I
need to become a pervert.
