Lawmakers yesterday approved a bill that criminalizes secretly taking photographs up women's skirts
The bill was today signed by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick
It was moved through quickly after the high court ruled that a man who took cellphone pictures up women's skirts on public transport had not broken the law
Anyone who 'photographs, videotapes or electronically surveils' another person's sexual or intimate parts without that person's consent would face a maximum of two-and-a-half years in jail and a $5,000 fine
