The Camera Phone Predator Alert Act has been introduced to U.S. Congress, seeking to impose mandatory shutter sounds on all camera phones. The purpose is to alert anyone within a reasonable distance that phone-wielding neer-do-wells are taking a potentially scandalous picture.
Every so often I read in the local paper about some jerk caught using his camera phone to snap a picture of a woman in a bathroom stall or something like that.
But how is a sound going to help prevent that from happening? Nevertheless a shutter click sound, which is pretty inconspicuous anyway, a flushing toilet could drown that sound out.
It's like buying cough medicine now. It's ridiculous to have that stuff behind the counter. But everyone suffers because of the few.
OMG! The crap I had to go through just to get a good bottle of Nyquil D back when I had my New Year's cold. I couldn't believe it. License, signatures, not to mention being pushed off during the whole process for someone to pay for their perscription (even though I was the one currently being helped), then the delivery man came in and needed a signature.
I thought they just kept the stuff back there so the kids couldn't get it since they were using it to get high. I figured that I just needed to say, "I would like this please" and the man would get it, I would pay for it and out I would go. I mean, there was no doubt that I am adult and that I was sick.
