Obviously I don't agree with that conclusion, but we haven't decided on our next step.

There is no law or regulation anywhere that says this information is illegal.

If a peeping Tom is caught, they will be charged. If it happens on campus, they will be charged both on campus and in the Buncombe County court system. If they live in resident housing and it was appropriate, they might lose their resident housing and up to expulsion, considering how serious the offense.

We respond once we have had a call. We will usually dispatch officers to the scene and look for any suspects. We will make sure that the person that called is all right. We will start an investigation by interviewing them and checking for any evidence. We would heighten our patrol in that area whether it be by car or by foot and that is what we have done is this past particular instance.

I think that anybody can fit the profile to be a victim of this. It is more of a crime of opportunity. Somebody just realizes that there is a chance that they can look in on somebody. It is probably incidental who they end up picking. My experience with it is that if it is someone that you know, it is probably more a case of harassment. Most of the time the person probably does not even know them.

Sadly, regardless of where you live today, some people are going to take any opportunity available if you give it to them. It is definitely more of an urban thing where people are living closer to one another and you have a higher rate of people on foot traffic.
