I get the feeling someone took a photo of King when he was unawares (maybe picking his nose) and he’s feeling a bit irritated.
A Republican enemy of liberty. What a surprise. </s>
Five minutes after the bill is passed, someone will figure out and post all over the internet how to bypass it, probably by something as simple as putting tape over the mic.. then bam.. the millions of taxpayer dollars it took to create this bill is out the window.
"Crick"
This is Exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they created this country. Make digital cameras “click.” Did I see an “R” after that jacka$$es name?
stupid party in action.
somebody just needs to substitute the sound file with a “silent” sound file and it is bypassed.
THIS is why the GOP lost, boneheads like this doofus who have no clue how the real world works today.
Perhaps we should pass a bill requiring congress creatures to live in the real world instead of the beltway.
(if a congressman can live in his father in law’s dresser drawer, then it should be no difficulty for the rest of them)
This legislation has been introduced in previous sessions of congress. It is sold on the idea that perverts are taking photos of our children, which is possible. But, what makes one think that the phone can not be modified, like putty being put in the speaker channel?
Congress only considers the gratitude of the public.
Are there any Republicans left who even have a clue?
So... Aside from the solutions presented here by Freepers in mere moments after hearing about the bill, I think the best laughingstock moment of all of this: No requirements for cameras not equipped with cell phones to make the ‘sound.’ And cameras hooked up to wifi?
Mo(R)on.
No... Seriously. WTF???
My Motorola Cell Phone is already equipped with such a feature. The noise is so LOUD, I would not use it in a restaurant as it would distract the entire establishment.
A discussion I had on our Canadian sister site revolved around how many more molesters, muggers, would-be rapists and other assorted lowlifes were being revealed, more & more, because so many people- especially the women-- are using cell phones with cameras.
This damn-fool meddling would sure put a crimp in that, wouldn't it?
Liberalism is a mental illness.
My brother has an optional sound effect on his new 3.3 megapixel cell phone camera. Unfortunately the sound is played immediately upon pressing the button, but the picture isn’t actually made till a couple of seconds later. He says he has a picture of a friend of his getting up out of her chair thinking that the picture had already been taken.
