"A Bill proposed by Florida state senator Jim Norman would make it a first-degree felony to photograph a farm without written permission from the owner. The bill is currently in the criminal justice committee of the state senate. The maximum prison time for a first-degree felony in Florida is 30 years."

^^^^^ CB: I wonder if they except satellite internet photos. Isn't every square inch of the earth now close up viewable on the internet ? Why r those people smiling at the sky ? They r posing for the satellite cameras.

I wonder if the ACLU has a legal theory as to why this law might be unconstitutional ? Could the legislature prohibit persons from even looking at a farm ?
