Utilitarianism for the past few years has always been considered not to be an act of crime.

It has
been deemed as the act of doing good by pleasuring oneself than doing harm to the others. This
happens when one is having a sexual pleasure with either the persons belongings or with the
image of the person attracted to.

Intrusion is the act of invading one’s privacy without his or her consent. Intrusion is a criminal
act covered by utilitarianism and can be viewed as an act that that bridges someone’s personal
space. The act of intrusion can occur where someone of the opposite sex has interest on either the
other sex or might find themselves attracted to the same sex. When the person tends to get access
to the property or to the apartment of whoever he or she is interested to without the persons
knowledge or without the person agreeing to it and having sexual pleasure for themselves can be
considered to be an act of intrusion.

Intrusion can be through acts of someone stalking you in close range or at afar distance by
checking into your personal space. Some intrusion of can be online through hacking into
someone personal computer, the phone of eavesdropping on the persons conversations by
installing microchips or microphones on their gadget or on the handsets, installing cameras on
the persons room and viewing the footages for their own pleasures.

The intruders are always mostly compelled by the act or by the strong desire of sex and wanting
to get closer to someone without them being noticed by the person. The intruders sometimes feel
that they are on the right side since they might mean no harm to the person. This makes them
view themselves as the protectors of the people they are trying to get close to. They might go to
an extreme reach of trying to harm other people who they think might be standing on their way
to whatever they might be seeking.

The act of intrusion should be a total crime and it should not be supported by the law. Intruders
or invaders of privacy often make the others feel uncomfortable. When one feels that they are
being watched by someone they do not know about they start generating more fear to
themselves. Take in for instance you are jogging across the park early in the morning and you
feel like someone has been silently following you from the back, and when you turn the person is
gone. This will create panic to the person which might lead to complications.
When a person goes ahead and trespasses to another person’s house, and goes around the house
and invades the privacy of the people living at that place by getting into their personal items like
clothing’s or belongings and use them to satisfy their sexual desires or for their own satisfaction,
should be considered and treated as a crime. Whether the person meant harm or no harm to the
other party.

If a single mother who has a camera installed in her daughter’s room comes back from work and
checks the camera footage and sees either an elder masked man or a mid-twenties aged man
getting into her house, walks to her daughters’ room and then pleasures himself with the
daughter’s pictures or undergarments. This act will create fear to the woman and she won’t feel
safe for herself or for her daughters.
Intrusion has for sometimes been regarded as utilitarianism, where it is considered as a good act
and it doesn’t cause harm to the other party. Though through time, we have seen intrusion to be
causing and creating either mental torture to the persons who have fallen as victims. The victims
of intrusion often live in fear of being attacked by the person who has been carrying out the
despicable actions.

Utilitarianism is an educated way of covering for crimes that are being done by many minorities
and causes harm to others. Therefore, utilitarianism is a shun covering for the evils that are done
and hid by calling them a good act that never meant harm to the persons it has affected either
directly or indirectly.
