At least that way you don't wake up the next
morning not remembering anything and feeling
dirty...

Au contraire, I believe you're confusing these with these.

Very few crimes have that requirement [i.e. "knowingly" language]

Then what is this in the Indiana Code?

Another example of "knowingly or intentionally" in Indiana law: the law banning Pokemon .

It looks like Indiana and Ohio have some sort of recriprocal agreement on income taxes.

Charitable organizations (who use volunteers or employees to make the calls), newspapers (who use employees to make the calls), insurance agents and realtors are excluded.

We will investigate and determine whether the company qualifies as one of the exemptions and that your number was indeed on the list. If the company is in violation, we can have a court order issued to prevent them from doing it again and can seek a fine of up to $10,000 for the first violation, $25,000 for a second violation. One phone call can be a violation. We can also recover any profits they made violating the law and collect any attorney fees and other costs associated with enforcing the law.

Hi folks,

I've been working for the company that is compiling Indiana's telephone privacy list. This is an opt-out list of names and numbers which telemarketers are prevented by law from calling.

Indiana residents can call 1-888-834-9969 or visit the Attorney General's website to register.

Cheers,

A description of the law can be seen here.

In the state of Indiana, try the Attorney General's site. The constitutionality of the law is currently under attack by a Kirby vacuum cleaner sales company.

I live in indiana, and in the 100+ years since they changed PI to 3, it hasn't gotten any better. It is illegal to have a stiffy in public in this state- 35-45-4-1c: (edited for your pleasure)

(a) A person who knowingly or intentionally, in a public place:
(3) appears in a state of nudity; or
(c) "Nudity" means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, or buttocks with less than a fully opaque covering, the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple, or the showing of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state.

damn state...

Here is more information on the state of Indiana's anti-telemarketing law that was recently passed, and everything that goes along with it.

We might not have daylight savings time, but at least we are trying to keep out telemarketers. I suggest you look over the text of the law before making any comments, since it provides many ways for people to legally call you, such as not-for-profit orgs using their own volunteers, etc. Anyway, I think it has helped tremendously, and I'm still waiting for a business to get sued over it to really enforce it. (That will be the true test of the law.)

I also believe it is being challenged by a number of groups right now. At least it is a step in the right direction. Heck, the attorney general based his entire last campaign on this issue alone.

Many states are enacting telephone privacy laws that telemarketer's must adhere to. In my home state of Indiana, you can add yourself to a list of numbers telemarketer's cannot call at the Attorney General's site. [www.in.gov] Unfortunately the legislation, while passed, won't take effect until January 1st, 2002, but oh, what a happy new year we'll have.

All it takes is enough letters, emails, and phone calls to your Attorney General to get your state to take action. So complain to yours today.
