Man banned from taking pictures
Raymond Rowland: Pic Devon & Cornwall Police
Rowland could be jailed or fined if he breaches the order
A man from Devon has been banned from filming or photographing women anywhere in the country without their consent.

Police were told Raymond Rowland, 41, from Torquay, asked women to start his car while he worked on the engine, then filmed the lower half of their bodies.

Recording equipment was found in his vehicle but he could not be prosecuted under voyeurism legislation because the offence happened in a public place.

Rowland was given a 10-year anti-social behaviour order.

During the police investigation a number of videos were seized showing images of more than 100 women.

Police said Rowland could face up to 6 months in prison or a £5,000 fine if he is found to be in breach of the Asbo.
