A compact zoom lens on a DSLR will not attract undue attention as there are so many of them out there these days. Behavior is much more important than camera size.
Until you decide to use a flash, you should learn how to use spot metering and exposure compensation. We don't care if the highlights on someone's thighs are a bit blown out if the panties are properly exposed. And if you have normally steady hands, focal length should about equal exposure time to avoid effects of lens shake. Adjust ISO and aperture to get there. Image stabilization will give you about another stop to play with. You should never, ever use automatic exposure mode.
If you're willing to take the risk, there's no reason to not get the technically best shots you can.

I agree to a certain extent that behavior is more important than camera size, but you're still holding a large camera in your hand and you're pointing it directly at someone. I've never had a SLR, but I played with a bridge camera, which looks like a cheap mini slr, and I can tell you that I had men and women looking at me constantly, and I wasn't even pointing the camera in their direction. A small camera phone also draws a ton of attention if you're shooting with it. The simple act of holding something in your hand and bringing it up to take a photo will draw eyes. The only thing most people don't appear to pay much attention to are camcorders for whatever reason. It's almost as if they dismiss it as a recording device. I can't imagine you're not attracting attention to yourself. Let's not also forget that the smaller the lens the closer you have to get to the subject, and the closer you get the louder that shutter sounds gets

It completely overrides any other rights you have regarding taking pics in a public place. All they have to prove is the focus of you mission was to shoot women's panties and your toast.
So take care and please don't get caught. I enjoy the pics even blurred. As a safety measure in case you do get busted I hope that you don't have a single pic of anyone under 18 on your hard drive with legs spread.
That would spell big trouble .... see you on the news kind of trouble.

I've haven't even seen a live upskirt in ages much less taken a picture of one, but I think it's ok as long as it's in a public. Like if a girl is just sitting on steps and you take her picture. I'm sure some copy somewhere will attempt to arrest you or do something to you, but I am not aware of any law against this.
As for the 18 and over rule, I don't know about you, but I see endless 18 year olds that look like they're 16. The reason why I know this is because there's a college dormitory near where I live and I see a constant stream of this girls coming and going from there, who really don't look 18 at all, but they must be if they're attending college right? Strange, I don't remember them being that young looking when I was 18.
