"  Back in 2010, travelers on Boston&amp;#039;s subway system noticed Michael Robertson taking &amp;quot;upskirt&amp;quot; photos of female commuters. Transit police sent a female officer onto the carriage in question, also wearing a skirt, and Robertson was caught taking a creepshot of her also. He was arrested, and has never denied taking the gross photos. However, in a decision yesterday, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that his actions were totally legal.  Robertson and his legal team \u2014 who must be really proud of themselves today \u2014 argued that the state law he was charged with breaking didn&amp;#039;t actually apply in his case. And the state&amp;#039;s Supreme Judicial Court agreed. Because the women Robertson photographed were 1) in a public environment and 2) neither nude nor partially nude, they ruled that Massachusetts&amp;#039; current &amp;quot;Peeping Tom laws&amp;quot; do not offer them a &amp;quot;reasonable expectation of privacy.&amp;quot;  The court noted, however, that women should be afforded this privacy \u2014 because upskirt photos are TERRIBLE. Representatives of the Massachusetts legislature expressed their disappointment with the ruling, and the House Speaker pledged to update the law &amp;quot;to conform with today&amp;#039;s technology immediately.&amp;quot; Follow Alex on  Twitter.
