They have cameras in both sex changing rooms that record you, but only to a point. The screens are limited so they can only see things that aren’t of private matters. It’s a piece of cooperate mind to make sure the public isn’t nicking their merchandise.Answer by jason
One is stalking & other is security.
Most changing rooms have signs that say they are under surveillance to reduce theft. The person has a choice to enter or not.

Answer by WESLEY LI think there would be two.
Criminal Trespass, if the person was unlawfully in say a back garden.
I think voyeurism is also a crime.
The woman however has a responsibility to take steps to guard her modesty, so if she was walking around undressed and could be seen from a public road, it is doubtful if an offence is being committed.
The reason why cameras are allowed to be sited in changing rooms is to prevent stealing. There must be a sign announcing their presence (so a woman has the choice of entering) and the monitoring must be only by females.
Answer by vambo number fiveThe offence is called voyeurism, since 2003, apparently:
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 came into force today. The new offence of Voyeurism carries a penalty of up to 2 years in jail.
and being placed on the Violent and Sexual Offenders’ Register.
Every operator or installer of a web camera, or a CCTV surveillance camera, or a mobile phone with a built in camera (including the Mobile Phone Networks), should read the relevant clauses, and think twice about taking or facilitating the taking of voyeuristic images.
Any such images of Children (which now includes 16 and 17 year olds) carries even higher penalties.
