Increase penalty for repeat voyeurism
This bill increases the legal penalties for repeat offenders convicted of voyeurism. It specifically targets individuals who secretly record others in private settings, such as through cameras or phones, to view their private areas or undergarments. Under the new provisions, a person caught spying on someone for the second or third time would face felony charges instead of the current misdemeanor penalties. The law also maintains stricter punishments for recording minors and filming through clothing, ensuring these actions remain serious offenses.
