The law on infringing photography makes it illegal to photograph or film someone without permission and in secret in certain private spaces, such as toilets or changing rooms.
But by 2020, only eight verdicts had been announced in Örebro District Court concerning this crime.
According to civil investigator Sara Bergsten, there are difficulties in investigating offensive photography.

Illegal invasion of privacy
A few years ago, the law on unlawful invasion of privacy also came into force.
Among other things, it made it illegal to spread sexual images online against anyone's will, so-called revenge porn.
The purpose was, among other things, to criminalize the dissemination of images taken with the victim's permission, for example within the framework of a relationship.
But SVT Nyheter Örebro's compilation also shows that only about two percent of the reports so far have resulted in decided cases in court or criminal injunctions, ie even fewer than offensive photography.
