I guess the economy is not enough to keep our law makers busy. A new law has been proposed to force cellphone cameras to make a clicking
sound when they take a picture. They think that this law will deter
criminals from taking "inappropriate" pictures.

This is not really anything new for BlackBerry users since RIM has not offered us the option to turn the camera sound off! Or maybe RIM is trying to cut down on spy shots. Though you would think that these inappropriate pictures could just as easily be taken with a spy camera.

This new Camera Phone Predator Alert Act will make it illegal to let a phone disable or silence the picture taking sound. The law would be part of the Consumer Product Safety Commission purview and will be considered a safety issue. They will require the sound to be audible to people within a reasonable distance from the phone…
