There was a story on the news last night about this effort to ban cellular camera phones that is being introduced in the Colorado Legislature. There is however one problem (ok really more than one). But the big one can be found in the Bill of Rights under the section labeled "Amendment 1".

Pommer's bill would make the use of cell phone cameras in areas like locker rooms a misdemeanor. As the bill hasn't been introduced yet I haven't read it yet. However, cellular camera phones are but one of the many small devices that would make it possible to take pictures in a locker room. What if the locker room has no lockers? Shall it be a crime to use your own phone to take a picture of yourself in a new outfit in a changing room at the local department store? There are plenty of PDA's and small cameras that are also capable of taking the picture if not transmitting it instantly. Read more about A Ban on Camera Phones?

Giving up I decided to pick up some Del Taco on the way home. Read more about Bah Humbug!
