'Why is filming upskirt a crime, but not filming a PDA couple?' asks man

Stomper See Siang feels that with technology these days, it has become easier to invade people's privacy.

This is his entry for October's What Say You topic, 'Making out in public: How far is too far?'

I believe public display of affection (PDA) remain unchanged for the past few years, it is just that with the advanced of the technology which make sharing of materials easier.

With the technology getting better and “smaller”, cameras with better specifications could be obtain almost everywhere. Being said, it would be invading people’s privacy.

Why would a person taking upskirt be considered a crime whereas another person trying to film or photograph display of affection would not consider as a crime?

Perception of people changed and evolved along the years, there are countries whereby beach goers could appear in nude and it would be a common sight. Do people located in such countries be making a fuss out of it? Answer is no (but it is a YES in Singapore).

Every country has its own laws, I believe Singapore are changing for the better. Display of affection are slowly adapted into our daily life. A peck or a hug before bidding goodbye will be common sight in the future. But we have to draw a distinct line between affections or simply cheap thrills.
