The cameras are very new, but legal experts say using them for voyeuristic purposes could carry criminal penalties, particularly under child pornography laws if people are photographing through the swimsuits of teen-agers or children.īut see-through technology like infrared and even more advanced thermal imaging is being used for good purposes, as well. "I do not want to be labeled a pervert," the web site operator wrote. The owners of the Web sites featuring the nude pictures certainly don't seem to want their pictures taken.In an e-mail to ABCNEWS, one Web site operator declined to be interviewed. It's such a basic expectation that any court in the country would find that this violates that right." "You go out in the street you don't expect people to look underyour clothes. "It's an outrage - I think it would outrage anyone," said Martha Davis, director of the National Organization for Women's Legal Defense fund. So can women sue the photographers and the Web site owners who posted their pictures for invasion of privacy? Some believe that the question is a lawsuit waiting to happen. "This technology violates that expectation of privacy it obliterates that expectation of privacy," Givens said. Givens says that wearing clothes gives people a right to privacy. The cameras are so new, that even privacy advocates are surprised. Their pictures are taken on the street, at swimming pools, and even beaches. Using the "X-ray camera" and two volunteer models, Hunter demonstrated that a viewer could see that the female model wore nothing under a black, patterned skirt and that a man has a tattoo that says "Sosa" under his shirt.īut he points out that both models knew they were being photographed, while most people who end up on the Internet sites he found do not know that they would end up there. Sony said it has no responsibility for altered or modified products. The camera with all the filters sells for about $700 brand new, and is easy to obtain, Hunter found.

But some people figured out how to modify the camera to get the see-through effect back and hundreds of the modified cameras are for sale on the Internet. Sony discovered the cameras' X-ray ability in 1998 and quickly changed the way it manufactured its Nightvision cameras so they would not allow users to peer through clothes. But someone discovered that using night vision in broad daylight with a special filter allows the viewer to see through some clothes. The cameras look like ordinary home video cameras equipped with night vision, infrared technology that allows users to take pictures in dark. "It's invisible to the person whose privacy is being violated … they don't know somebody has the ability to look under their clothes." "It's a great way to be a Peeping Tom without having to climb a tree and look in the window," said Beth Givens of the Privacy Clearinghouse. At least 12 Web sites feature pictures of women who look almost naked, even though they are wearing clothes or a swimsuit. And some people are posting these nude pictures on the Internet, where they could be available to millions of eyeballs without the person in the picture knowing it.
