SpyCam'er goes free with summons?!?!

FL - No additional charges will be filed against a Merritt Island man charged with video voyeurism after his arrest Thursday at a Melbourne clothing store. Police said the man carried a digital video camera into a dressing room at a Beall's Outlet and had images of a woman trying on clothes.

Teddy W. Underwood, 31, is charged with video voyeurism, a misdemeanor, police spokeswoman Jill Frederiksen said.

If police technicians had discovered the woman was audiotaped as well, Frederiksen said, then Underwood could have been charged with a felony count of illegally taping a person without their permission. No audiotape was discovered. ...

Store clerks called police, who arrived while Underwood was still in the dressing room. They questioned him and found the camera. He claimed he found it and was going to turn it in, Frederiksen said.

An officer looked at the video, saw the images of the woman changing and arrested Underwood, she said. (more)
