Joseph Peter Newman, 42, received a two-year suspended jail sentence for 135 charges of unlawfully using a surveillance device and two counts of stalking.
Police said they were disappointed the legislation for these kinds of offences did not reflect the seriousness of the actions.
Despite facing 135 charges of unlawfully using an optical surveillance device, police said the maximum penalty Newman could have received in this case was one year’s imprisonment.
Under the legislation, police claim they could not charge Newman with indecent filming because there was no such offence for adults.
Police became aware of Newman’s activities after an Ellenbrook woman spotted him filming her through her bedroom window on October 5 last year.
