Both parties attract busybodies that think anything they don't like personally should be illegal.

And that seems to be keeping the lawmakers busy.

Where does this law leave the dash cams in police cars and private automobiles? What about all the security cameras that are mounted on light poles, ally ways, stores, etc? What about the TV media and newspaper photographers? What about back-up cameras in the newer automobiles? Does this mean that National Geographic can only shoot in countries outside of the U.S.? Yes, these questions sound about as silly as the law they want to pass! I guess I'll by-pass Arkansas when I take my next vacation.

Arkansas is about to enact the most restrictive photography law I have ever heard of. Unless you get written consent, you are not allowed to take pictures of people in public, even if they are in the background. If someone's pictures appears online without their written consent, you could be in big trouble. The bill has already passed the state senate. I have seen quite a bit written about this.

That's probably it, but you have to wonder how many constituents don't want to take pictures outside of their own homes. And how about kids taking pictures with their cell phones all over the place?

Arkansas will have to create a special police force. They could give it a pleasant name, like Friendly Uniformed Constables Keeping You Offline Unfairly. Of course, they would abbreviate such a long name and use the first letter of each word. :D


Did you mean the sex and travel brigade?
