New Law Will Require Camera Phones To "Click"

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the pointless-wastes-of-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new bill is being introduced called the Camera Phone Predator Alert Act, which would require any mobile phone containing a digital camera to sound a tone whenever a photograph is taken with the phone's camera. It would also prohibit such a phone from being equipped with a means of disabling or silencing the tone."

    Maybe there's a need for this law. There are probably examples cited throughout the legal text of the proposed law.

    What about a loudener? Speed cocker? An attachment for shooting down police helicopters?

    Sticking some chewing gum in any digital camera's beeper-hole should bring the decibels back down to illegitimate levels.

    Should invading one's peaceful neighbours be opposed, or rewarded with trade deals?

    There's also the billions of cellphones out there right now that do not make the "clicky noise". Oh look that guy's wearing a headset now only he/she can hear the click. If this is the fabled change Obama was talking about, count me out.
