In re Banks
Supreme Court of North Carolina
244 S.E.2d 386 (1978)
Relevant factsFree
North Carolina's Peeping Tom statute made it a crime to secretly peep into a woman's room with intent to invade her privacy. Banks (defendant) challenged the law as unconstitutionally vague, arguing people would reasonably read it differently, and as overbroad, arguing it criminalized conduct beyond what the legislature intended to reach.
IssueFree
Whether a Peeping Tom statute criminalizing secret peeping into a woman's room with intent to invade privacy is void for vagueness or overbreadth.
