It's not "ok". It's just not "illegal". You can hold both of those ideas in your head at the same time, can't you? I don't like people taking picutres of my bald spot, but that probably shouldn't be illegal. It probably shouldn't be illegal even if I normally wear a hat and take it off for the pledge of aligence or whatever. I don't think it's "ok" to burn an American Flag because you're sad that gays can get married. That doesn't mean it should be illegal.
Contrary to what you've been told, the purpose of legislation isn't to enforce and inflict your personal fears and hang ups on the rest of the world. THERE ARE NO DAMAGES WHEN SOMEONE TAKES A PHOTO OF A FULLY CLOTHED PERSON IN PUBLIC. That's the point. It's not "ok" for paparazzi to expose famous cheating spouses. There are millions of things that aren't "ok" that we allow to be legal to avoid harm. Once this is illegal, then obviously "attempting" it will be made illegal. So to protect your @#%^ing precious magic underpants, some poor sod is going to end up in prison because someone thinks he tried to take a picture of something.
It's not worth it. Not remotely.

Of course I understand that. However, we're not talking about taking a picture of a "fully clothed person." We're talking about taking a picture up someone's skirt. There's a difference there, and I don't see how peeping at someone in a restroom or a changing room is all that different. People go into closed stalls to disrobe for a reason, just like someone puts clothing over certain parts of their body for a reason. An invasion of privacy IS damaging, in my opinion.

I have an expectation of privacy under my skirt, as well.
