Representative Pete King of New York has introduced a bill to Congress that would require all new cameraphones to have shutter sounds. Why? For the children!
The bill states that “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,” a fact which I doubt many would challenge. What many will challenge are the notions that the main purpose of silent camera modes is to perv on Kindergartners and that banning these modes would stop anyone from doing so.
There is a practically unlimited supply of existing, silent-mode-enabled cameras that are available to anyone who wants them, not to mention the fact that many cameraphones have video modes, which present a problem that couldn’t really be solved short of requiring handsets to scream “HEY NAKED KIDS, I’M TAKING A VIDEO RIGHT NOW SO YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GO GET YOUR PARENTS” on loop for the duration of the recording.
I just turned the shutter sound off on my cellphone. An unfortunate situation occurs whilst my cell is holstered.
The holster occasionally activates the camera and begins taking pictures of the inside of the holster. I had not considered that having the camera merrily clicking away could be misconstrued. Better safe than sorry.
Recently the camera started clicking while the car radio was playing Simon and Garfunkle’s “Kodachrome.” Seemed a nice touch.
I listened to the Podcast..
and if its for fighting those UP SKIRT pictures..
Then just make the camera NOT FOCUS at 1 foot..
Make the min range 6 foot..
Or install a DECENT camera..
Hey! This morning, I could see her face!….
The guy is trying to make brownie points with the ignorant or is ignorant.

I’ve been fairly depressed recently.
Well, a comic company, but I think the man has a penchant for extreme perversion.
Priceless!
