A Broken Arrow man is free after a judge rules that a picture he took, under the skirt of a teenage girl in a department store, did not violate any law.

This is the second time a judge has ruled the man, Riccardo Ferrante, did not break the law saying that the girl did not have any expectation of privacy because she was in a department store.

Assistant Police Chief Mike Carter may have to turn to city laws to keep the suspect from walking away free. He says the latest court ruling in the Ferrante case surprised him. It surprised others we spoke to as well.

"I am appalled that that person is not in prison, said Jane Snedden. "Clothes are private property. I can't believe he'd be allowed to get away with that."

State leaders have already started making changes to the law. According to one representative, the law would be amended to make the area under someone's clothing a private area.

8 Talkback: Judge Rules Upskirt Picture Does Not Violate Law
CS
The law on this needs to be changed quickly and all of the loopholes closed in it! A woman's private parts are her business and NOBODY ELSES! Taking a picture up a woman's dress should be considered rape! I might wind up in jail myself but I promise you that if I ever catch someone taking a picture up my dress, their next stop will be at the hospital emergency room. They'll be there to get stitches in the busted lip that I'll give them and maybe a broken arm set!
