10 Years for Possession of Pot. But Court Rules Shooting Upskirt Pics of Women is Legal in Public

In the state of Georgia, if you are caught with more than one ounce of a highly beneficial and nearly miraculous plant that heals children and adults alike — you can be thrown in jail for up to 10 years. However, if you’re caught sneaking a video camera up a woman’s dress to film an ‘upskirt’ shot, you’ll have nothing to worry about.

Thanks to a recent ruling by the Georgia Court of Appeals, putting your cellphone beneath a woman’s skirt without her permission is 100% legal now.

In a 6-3 split decision, the court sided with Brandon Lee Gary who openly admitted to sneaking “upskirt” videos of a woman while she grocery shopped. Gary successfully argued that the wording of state law does not make what he did illegal by their definition of the term.

In 2013, Gary was seen on multiple surveillance cameras at a Publix grocery store repeatedly sticking his cellphone camera underneath the skirt of a female customer and recording video.

Shortly after he was caught, a grand jury indicted Gary on a single count of “Unlawful Eavesdropping and Surveillance,” and he was found guilty at a bench trial in Superior Court.

According to Georgia law it’s illegal for “[a]ny person, through the use of any device, without the consent of all persons observed, to observe, photograph, or record the activities of another which occur in any private place and out of public view.”

Gary argued that since the woman was in a public place, putting a camera up her skirt did not violate this law.
