Arizona bill could criminalize Internet trolling

Re: Trolling Could Get You 25 Years in Jail in Arizona

How many of us wouldn't be in jail?

the state would go bankrupt trying to extradite all the folks not in AZ (but on the internet readable to AZ folk) over to AZ to prosecute.

Anonymous would have a field day with AZ state government if that bill ever saw daylight.

Wait, are you claiming that unelected, unaccountable judges can negate the will of the people?

In certain circles Sir you speak blasphemy! :mrgreen:

It is a perfect example of will of the people vs the constitutional considerations we operate under.
 
There's little to no chance that this law conforms to the 1st amendment. Constitutionality aside, it's also probably impossible to enforce, given that Arizona only has jurisdiction over Arizona, whereas the internet exists, y'know, everywhere.

AZ GOP legislator: "What's the furst amendmunt?"
 
It seems Arizona has become the right wing whacko counter to Hippy California. Many laws of late are head shakers. For all big brother is despised in some regards, it is embraced swiftly on others.

So everyone in Arizona agrees with this? Did you ask each person?
 
Arizona House Bill 2549 has already passed both of the state's legislative bodies and is currently sitting on the desk of Governor Jan Brewer. While there's a lot in there that doesn't concern trolling, here's the line that has people worried:

It is unlawful for any person, with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend, to use ANY ELECTRONIC OR DIGITAL DEVICE and use any obscene, lewd or profane language or suggest any lewd or lascivious act, or threaten to inflict physical harm to the person or property of any person.

If that's what it says then it is way to broad and overreaching.

AZ has certainly more than its share of RW whack jobs. It's a backasswards state politically. Easily the most extreme right wing in the west.

We need to discover who introduces this kinda garbage and they need to never have a job in politics thereafter. Even if it doesnt go all the way through the fact someone tried should warrant attention.
