“VENICE — Italian police have arrested a man in Venice who was allegedly wandering around St. Mark's Square and other city landmarks while secretly filming thousands of women's bottoms, officials said Tuesday.

The man was arrested Saturday after police on patrol noticed him closely following a young woman while carrying a large bag hanging from his shoulder.

"He was very well dressed," paramilitary police Capt. Mario Marino said. "He followed her and when she bent over to pick up something he tried to place the tip of the bag under her skirt."

Upon inspection, the bag revealed a sophisticated camera which the man had used to film some 3,000 women in the area over more than three years, Marino said. The bag also contained DVDs with the material filmed by the man, he said.

The alleged voyeur was not identified, but Marino said he is a 38-year-old businessman from nearby Padua, married and with two children. He was released but police have filed a complaint for invasion of privacy, a crime carrying a penalty of up to two years in jail.”

“The man was a ass man no ?”

“I can't think of a law that covers this in the States. I would not know how to charge anyone if I had to address this incident.”

“Lewd and Lacivious behavior would cover it.”

“The guy would have to expose himself for that charge in Georgia.”

“Isn't "peeping tom" criminal everywhere? They are always finding hidden cameras in dressing rooms and such. It would seem to me to be the same offence.”

“(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to be a 'peeping Tom' on or about the premises of another or to go about or upon the premises of another for the purpose of becoming a 'peeping Tom.'

(b) As used in this Code section, the term 'peeping Tom' means a person who peeps through windows or doors, or other like places, on or about the premises of another for the purpose of spying upon or invading the privacy of the persons spied upon and the doing of any other acts of a similar nature which invade the privacy of such persons”

“A person who peeps through windows or doors, or other like places.”

“sounds like the second part of (b) would cover it.”

“doing of any other acts of a similar nature which invade the privacy of such persons””

“That's one hell of a sentence............run on, that is.”

““The guy would have to expose himself for that charge in Georgia.”
