A bill being presented is attempting to make it a law that all cell phone cameras must made a digital "click" sound when taking pictures, in order to stop "predators" from taking pictures of people against their wishes. The law also makes it illegal to include anyway to disable the click.
This law is stupid, of course, as it won't take much for someone to make a third-party app or other such quick hack to disable it.
Or, you know, people will just use cameras that AREN'T attatched to cellphones and therefore don't make clicking sounds. And the photos will be in better quality!
You can read the proposed law here:
