Georgia lawmakers work to make ‘upskirting’ illegal

ATLANTA (AP) — A bill making it illegal to film or take photos under a person’s clothes has cleared a hurdle in the Georgia Legislature.

The House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee approved the measure Monday. The Senate is consid- ering a similar bill.

Lawmakers decided to take action last summer after a divided Court of Appeals found that a man didn’t break any laws when he filmed up a woman’s skirt while she shopped at a grocery store.
