> [@lawbuff](#): > > B excludes minors because C covers it, as you see, the language is almost exact for b and C except the word MINOR. Is that how it would be interpreted? If there were significant language differences, it could be argued that ones in B applied only to adults? > [@](#): > > C also includes where not included in B “or spy or eavesdrop”, as Hershele stated. Right, but that’s covered in A for adults (or unspecified persons). Add that to my original query: Why A, then B, then restate A+B for minors? (Hold that thought…) > [@](#): > > C has the highest penalty because it includes minors and MORE elements, B has a different penalty. Ah, I take it this is in a different part of the entry, not quoted in the post. Breaking out the conditions to allow different penalties makes complete sense. ---

As an example, THEFT against an ELDERLY person has a higher penalty; In part; (3) Except as otherwise provided in division (B)(4), (5), (6), (7), (8), or (9) of this section, if the victim of the offense is an elderly person or disabled adult… [http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2913.02](http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2913.02) ---

It flared out to the sides, there was taffeta or whatever underneath, and the whole concoction stopped about mid-thigh. It sounds weird, but she had the legs for it (like most sophisticates, I’m a leg man ;)). Why didn’t you say something?? I would’ve raised holy heck. Sheesh. ---

Just now, when I glanced at the new posts lists and saw “Upskirting”, I thought of that song “Barefootin’” and wondered if this was a new dance. [Barefootin’](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0SUEUryagU) ---

The Beatles song Happiness Is A Warm Gun has a line with the guy who has mirrors on his “hobnail boots.” Lennon was in the habit of reading the paper and sticking bits in the songs. ---

In Japan there is an entire deviant subculture dedicated to producing surreptitiously filmed up-skirt videos and posting them online. The police have squads dedicated to catching these guys too, but they are often confounded by the large number of people who stage up-skirt videos with actresses.
