The similar crime of unlawful surveillance currently in effect in New York only applies to peeping Tom cases in which an imaging device is used, thus permitting peeping Toms to escape proper punishment if they do not use an imaging device. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 creates new sections 250.51 and 250.52 of the penal law to establish, respectively, the crimes of voyeurism in the second and first degrees.
