Interesting Camera Phone Legislation

The Camera Phone Predator Alert Act (H.R. 414) got my attention via PC World.

New York Representative Peter King (R), is the lawmaker hoping to require an audible tone to accompany all cellular phones with an installed camera that are created in the U.S.

The sound, something no doubt like a camera click or tone, would signal an image is being recoreded with the mobile device.

Any mobile phones built after the bill becomes a law would be prohibited from including any way to eliminate or reduce the volume of said noise.

And the reasoning for this legislation?

"Congress finds that children and adolescents have been exploited by photographs taken in dressing rooms and public places with the use of a camera phone."

Interesting.
