Judge Rules Man Who Took Photos Up Ladies' Skirts At Lincoln Memorial Didn't Violate Their Privacy

A female judge has dismissed charges against a Virginia man accused of voyerism for allegedly taking pictures up women’s skirts at the Lincoln Memorial, saying that women should have no expectation of privacy in a public place.

“This Court finds that no individual clothed and positioned in such a manner in a public area in broad daylight in the presence of countless other individuals could have a reasonable expectation of privacy,” wrote D.C. Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna in her ruling (see complete ruling at the bottom of this article) on a defense motion to suppress evidence in the case against Christopher Cleveland.

Cleveland, who is from Springfield, Va., was arrested in June 2013 after U.S. Park Police officers said he appeared to be photographing women wearing dresses who were seated above him on the memorial steps.

If they want to show it don't wear panties. If they don't want to show it wear panties. Simple.

They must have been some pretty short dresses! Have some modesty. You're not at the pool or beach.

Perhaps one can photograph up under the judge's robe...
