Lawmaker: "We need to send a clear message that this behavior will not be tolerated," OMG..seriously...you sent the message that VIDEO TAPING IT will not happen without a fine and it doesn't take a high school diploma to figure out a loop hole. Out of sight, out of mind? It doesn't say out of sight out of reality. Dear God, please give our politicians a conscience and take away their egos before they let anymore "negative" behavior control them when making laws. Amen. WHERE ARE ALL THE CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES who pray? Hmmmm..did u pray that God would show you the way? Hmm..well what if he decides to show you the way via the internet? You don't even know what God u serve.
