Andy K said:Anyte, the links posted show how recent new Laws already in place have already been severely abused. Those links were used as an example to show how this Bill, if it becomes Law, is open to abuse.

This may or may not be an abuse.

WarEaglemtn said:This latest stupidy, coupled with the Homeland Stupidity Act put all of us in the USA in danger. Tourists, street photographers, LF architectural/scenic shooters & anyone with a camera. All are at the mercy of the paranoid idiots with badges. No pretext is too small for them to stop & harass you. Photograph the subway, power lines or a normal street scene & you might find yourself subject to arrest. All it takes on one bad cop... and there are a hell of a lot more than one of them out there. Welcome to the USASSR
juan said:As I understand it, the cell-phone digital camera idiots prompted this law. They were taking photos of women in gyms and other such places and then emailing them or uploading them. I think, rather than the Video Voyerism law, we need one simply authorizing us to shoot people doing such stuff, and also shoot people who are talking on a cell phone while driving.

Up until recently the law was on their side because there is no "assumption of privacy" in public areas. This is intended to keep my private parts, well, private. As the father of a little girl I welcome it. The defenitions are pretty clear.They will work in the best interest of the general public.
