police are currently only able to pursue offences of outraging public decency or as a crime of voyeurism.
The new law would change that, bringing it in line with other voyeurism offences.
It would also allow, in the most serious cases, those convicted to be placed on the sex offenders register.
I guess there's an argument to say it's already covered under voyeurism laws and doesn't require a specific offence.
Without knowing enough about how it fits in to existing legislation it's hard to make informed comment. But if, as it stands, the law prevents serious and habitual offenders being put on the register then it does seem a bit lacking.... although I guess you could make an argument against the sex offenders register, as it unfairly prioritises(?) sexual offenses over say violent ones.
But still seems like a dick move, and the lack of any other opposition supports it.
