Lawyers are a separate species from humans, aren't they?

August 19, 2008 - When a mother complained about a middle-aged man photographing girls in a water park, the pictures park security found pictures in his camera were focused on their butts and breasts. He was arrested for video voyerism. The girls were 10 to 13 years old and wearing bikinis. Police subsequently found 13,000 images of girls, mostly in bathing suits, on his home computer.

Duane Champagne's attorney argued Monday that his client wasn't breaking the law when he snapped the photographs because his subjects, young girls and women wearing bikinis, had no expectation of privacy at that public facility.
