Sexual Gratification Gone Wild
A Texas court tossed out a state law banning photos or videos taken in a public place without consent and with the purpose of sexual gratification — as a violation of free-speech rights.

The state’s highest criminal court on Wednesday tossed out a state law banning “improper photography” — photos or videos taken in a public place without consent and with the purpose of sexual gratification — as a violation of free-speech rights.In an 8-1 ruling, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals said photos, much like paintings and films, are “inherently expressive” and therefore protected by the First Amendment.
