TAMPA - Krishna Ajvalia told Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies he just couldn't resist recording women inside a Tampa Target store last month.
Security cameras recording inside the store on Sept. 10 show Ajvalia, 30, hiding his video camera inside his jacket while he follows behind women, shooting their backsides.
"I saw a couple of decent looking women and had this feeling come over me. I got like a drunk feeling and I couldn't control myself," Ajvalia told deputies in a statement.
One woman, talking on a cell phone, is oblivious that's she's being recorded by Ajvalia, who is standing just feet away.
Assistant State Attorney Pam Bondi called his actions "reprehensible."
"It's clear from watching the first woman, that she didn't know that she was being videoed by this guy," said Bondi. "It's a shame you can't just be shopping in a store and feel secure, that you have to look behind you for a person like that."
Security staff inside the Target on Bruce B. Downs noticed Ajvalia inside the store and called the sheriff's office.
Deputies arrested Ajvalia for video voyeurism, but the charges were later dropped. Bondi said his actions do not meet Florida's voyeurism statute.
"To be a crime, the filming must be done in a place where someone would have an expectation of privacy, such as a bathroom or a dressing room, or the filming must be done through or underneath someone's clothing," she said.
Alyssa Zavaglia is a senior at the University of South Florida. She shops at that Target location at least once a week. She said she's surprised to learn videotaping without permission is legal.
"It doesn't seem right, obviously."

M sends James Bond on a secret mission to heaven. When M doesn't hear from Bond for over a day, he gets worried and calls up heaven.
The Virgin Mary picks up the phone and says "Virgin Mary speaking. "M asks her if Bond has reached there yet. She replies that he hasn't.
M waits another few hours and calls heaven back again. "Virgin Mary speaking," comes the response. "Is James there yet?" asks M. Again the answer is no.
M is really worried by this time but he waits for a few more hours and then calls heaven back again.
"Hello, Mary speaking !"
A former Kansas radio executive who admitted that he embezzled to support an addiction to scratch-off lottery tickets won a $96,000 lottery prize.
Prosecutors say the prize money will go toward paying restitution to Paul W. Lyle's former employer, American Media Investments.
Lyle pleaded guilty Thursday to felony theft for embezzling an estimated $88,000 from American Media.
It was during his preliminary hearing Sept. 21 that Lyle was notified he had won a prize in a second-chance lottery drawing. The prize includes a boat, cash and tickets to a NASCAR race at the Kansas Speedway.
Lyle will be sentenced Nov. 30.
His conviction carries a sentencing range of five to 17 months in jail or prison. But prosecutors say Lyle likely will get probation because he has no previous felony convictions.
