By Using Satellites To Videotape New Yorkers Within The Privacy Of Any Area Where They May Disrobe The NSA Is In Violation Of "Stephanie's Law"
All TI's within the State of New York as well as the 46 other States should take notice of this law since any satellite spying of you within the privacy of such areas is illegal and at the very least, constitutes a violation of "Stephanie's Law." There are undoubtedly other laws which apply within your respective States that also prohibit such spying, not the least of which is the 4TH Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Unfortunately, there are likely millions of Americans (as well as citizens from other countries) who have been illegally spied upon and videotapted by the NSA, while disrobing, showering, using their toilets and having sex, who have absolutely no idea that this outageous and sexually predatory violation has been perpetrated against them. Imagine if they were to suddenly find out that the NSA has done so, and that the US Congress knew all about it. It would also make the following law hypocritical, since the NSA has been violating it in the same ways as some degenerate stalker/peeping Tom/Harriet that could be sentenced to prison for committing the same such outrageous violations to privacy.
Spy satellites are without a doubt the worst thing to happen to the privacy of the Earth's citizens, since there is no way for the targeted subjects to know that they are being illegally spied upon, and moreover, that there will always be those within our governments who violate this technology for their own criminal means. The best thing that could happen for the people on this planet is for these satellites to be destroyed.
Perhaps at some point the Alien phenomenon will take care of this problem for us, since they certainly have the capabilities in which to do so, and there would be nothing that those within these corrupted governments could do to stop them.
