An anti-voyeur vigiliante took the law -- and a peeping tom -- into her own hands this week in Calgary when a she caught a man videotaping up her skirt at a local mall. The privacy law angle is at the end of the article:
Man with spycam had 'wrong chick':
"CALGARY -- A 26-year-old shopper was shocked to find a man secretly filming under her skirt but managed to grab him by the lapels and yell for help. Dorianne Bamber said she was shopping at the North Hill Centre on Tuesday and had stopped to look at Halloween costumes when a man came up and stood behind her.
...
There are no laws governing the misuse of hidden cameras, although a federal bill that would create a new crime of voyeurism to combat electronic-age peeping Toms has passed first reading in Parliament.
Stephen Jenuth of the Alberta Civil Liberties and Privacy Association, said the penalty for mischief ranges from a fine to six months in jail, although such a severe sentence is unlikely.
Bamber said she's speaking out because she wants other women to be aware this can happen to them."
