Hollywood Law Makers

Nanny State - one regulation away from total bliss                                         “ Halle Berry’s Law Is Social Media Monitoring Coming to a School Near You? ... Police will conduct sting operations to enforce a new California law--championed by actress and humanitarian Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner--that cracks down on paparazzi who photograph the children of celebrities.  The main justification is--what else?--keeping kids safe, and administrators are keeping their eyes peeled for all kinds of possible red flags, including drug use, profanity, bullying, hate speech, sexual harassment, and the use of fake IDs. California’s Glendale Unified School district is monitoring 14,000 students, and the company hired to conduct the snooping expects to be keeping tabs on students in 3,000 schools worldwide by the end of the year. In short, the law will (almost certainly) eventually mimic Britain's law that makes it a crime to photograph and child without parents permission (think soccer matches. etc).  I could just as well have use the Police State banner for this post. ”
