Pervert's cam causes bomb scare - [Some dumbass...]
----------------------------------------------------
Today a small digital camera, apparently planted by an unidentified pervert to look up women's skirts, caused a bomb scare near a Manhattan subway station. Police were notified on Tuesday of a box with wires sticking out of it under a subway grate in a sidewalk.
The block was closed off while the police bomb squad investigated.
The scare ended when officers discovered that the device was merely a digital camera.
There was no evidence to suggest that the voyeur had been successful with his hunt.
'Video voyeurism', secretly capturing images of another person for sexual purposes, became a felony in New York in 2003. The statute, 'Stephanie's Law', was named after a woman whose landlord spied on her for months by hiding a tiny video camera in a smoke detector above her bed.
Under the law, video voyeurism can result in sentences ranging from 1 year to 7 years in prison.
The longest sentences apply to cases in which images are sold or traded.
