Change in law on trespassing gets Senate OK
DES MOINES Iowa Senate approval clears the way for tougher penalties on peeping toms and privacy violators. Senate File 2185 would make aggravated trespass occur when a person intentionally views photographs or films through a dwelling window or aperture without consent, expanding protections for home privacy. The measure also targets stalking and domestic violence with broader definitions and new penalties, with the bill moving to the House while a companion mental health access measure and a right to assistance proposal advance.
