U.K. foot filmer banned from photography

TORQUAY, England, June 30 (UPI) -- A British man has been banned from taking pictures of women for 10 years after being busted for secretly filming the feet of more than 100 women.

Ray Rowland, 41, Torquay, Devon, was tagged with an anti-social behavior order after being charged with having a hidden camera in his car that he used to capture images of female feet as well as their legs, The Sun said Saturday.

Rowland apparently would park his car in a parking lot and tell women passing by he was having engine trouble. He would ask them to sit behind the wheel and rev up the engine while supposedly tinkered under the hood. All the time, the hidden camera was filming away.

The scam was broken up this week, the British newspaper reported, when a woman was asked twice in one week to help Rowland with his "disabled" car.
