Disgusting Court Ruling Declares “Upskirt” Photos to be Freedom of Speech

It won’t be long before this kind of warning to women and children will be declared a violation of someone’s “civil rights.” And down the slippery slope we slide.

Running hot on the heels of the latest upsurge in legal faggotry marriage, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, once a stronghold of logical conservative values, recently ruled that “upskirt” and other voyeuristic photos do not constitute a criminal offense.

According to the opinion published by the judges, such degeneracy falls under the protection of the First Amendment, and does not violate the personal rights and privacy of those intruded upon. At the moment, distributing the material is still prohibited, although there are currently pending cases attempting to address this as well.

Such a decision, coming almost unanimously from the nine member bench, opens the door to multiple bizarre sexual fetishes, including perverts who desire to film little children for their twisted pleasure.

Peter Linzer, a prominent and likely Jew legal professor at the University of Houston Law Center, spoke out in passionate defense of the ruling, and went so far as to defend the actions of those who prey on unsuspecting women and innocent youth, calling it a form of “art” and “expression.”

Houston Chronicle:

The state’s highest criminal court on Wednesday tossed out part of a Texas law banning “improper photography or visual recording” – surreptitious images acquired in public for sexual gratification, often called “upskirting” or “downblousing” – as a violation of federal free-speech rights and an improper restriction on a person’s right to individual thoughts.

In an 8-1 ruling, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals said photos, like paintings, films and books, are “inherently expressive” and, therefore, are protected by the First Amendment. The opinion supported a previous decision by the San Antonio-based 4th Court of Appeals.

The camera is essentially the photographer’s pen and paintbrush,” the opinion written by Presiding Judge Sharon Keller said. “A person’s purposeful creation of photographs and visual recordings is entitled to the same First Amendment protection as the photographs and visual recordings themselves.”

The appeal questioned why some free speech can be treated as unlawful behavior in Texas. Peter Linzer, who teaches constitutional and First Amendment law at the University of Houston Law Center, said: “It’s hard to see how you could make taking a picture a crime.”

The case involved Ronald Thompson, who was charged in 2011 with 26 counts of improper photography after taking underwater pictures of clothed children – most wearing swimsuits – at a San Antonio water park. He appealed the law’s constitutionality before his trial. He contended that a plain reading of the law would place street photographers, entertainment journalists, arts patrons, pep rally attendees and “even the harmless eccentric” at risk of incarceration.

…

Linzer said the court rendered a sound decision.

“To think that it’s unlawful to look at a little girl in a swimsuit, when you have lascivious thoughts, in public? And you did not do anything to that child? That cannot be made a crime in the United States,” he said. “The fact that some people might find that very offensive doesn’t change anything. … You can’t prevent someone in public from looking at you and having dark thoughts.”

Mr. Linzer, you should be immediately arrested and tried for subversion for spewing forth such a deranged comment, as it amounts to a blatant defense of pedophilia, a crime that can only be somewhat avenged by the just and legal execution of those who engage in such depravity.

What was formerly a nation of morality and restraint has now devolved into a morbid parody of civilization, where those who stalk the shadows now have almost free rein to engage in their unnatural behaviors.

As has been said of many news pieces, show this to those around you, and ask them if they condone this crumbling of our Western society. Only through mass awareness can we hope to stem the flood, cauterize the gaping cultural wounds, and repair the damage done to so many decent men and women.
