I'd call it something along the lines of "The Cell Phone Pervert Act." Still, "Camera Phone Predator Alert Act" is pretty catchy, too. That's the name of a new bill being pushed by New York congressman Peter King: It would require that cell phones make a sound when they're used to take a picture.
This is similar to a law that currently exists in Japan, which came to light recently when Apple was told it must add a picture-taking sound to the iPhone in order to sell the handset in that country.
"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," states the bill. According to Wired, the bill, which was introduced earlier this month, has thus far failed to pick up much support.

Very good idea. We need more technology such as this to curb the rampant immorality and exploitation of children (and women) in America.

I think our goverment is STUPID!! All the problems we have with our economy and all they can come up with for the American people is this stupid bill. Its nothing but a smoke screen and a witch hunt. They are always tring to make victims where there is none. Whats next bugging our phones? " oh thats right they alreay done that"! Sixty percent of Americans have a below average IQ so they will get it passed. If they want to live in a communist country, go to Iran where Religion rules. (Religion=communism.)God is good, religion sucks all of them. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
