Hidden cameras and an alleged psychological disorder

Supreme Court · Second Chamber (Penal) · 2016

What the Supreme Court considered and decided

The Supreme Court upheld a conviction for installing cameras in toilets. It rejected mitigation unsupported by a relevant impairment and examined the defendant’s ability to understand and comply with the law.

What this helps explain

The designation of a disorder or preference is not sufficient to reduce imputability without proving its specific incidence.
