Previous discussion from here (apologies for the scored link, the normal site is running slow for me right now).
And copying my comment there:
The article was updated. Staring is not part of the proposed law.

The backbencher's bill aims to criminalise:
Deliberately walking closely behind someone as they walk home at night
Making obscene or aggressive comments towards a person
Making obscene or offensive gestures towards a person
Obstructing a person's path
Driving or riding a vehicle slowly near to a person making a journey
As it stands, the bill will also introduce harsher sentences - increasing the maximum sentences from six months to two years.
Campaigners have also called for wolf-whistling and staring intently to be criminalised.
