Shouldn’t people who purchase cell phones simply have the right to disable sounds they don’t want? Why are the rights of supposed “victims” of photography more important than the rights of those who actually paid for the phones?

This law doesn’t go far enough. What about video? Phones should be forced to make that old time movie camera “flick flick” noise or maybe something else as long as its loud. We must band together to stop all this rampant unauthorized photographing of peoples privates! Think of the chilfren!!

Of all the things our Congress-critters could be spending time and taxpayer money on! And right, what is the point when every point-and-shoot can have its “click” disabled? Talk about stupid laws.

I guess I’ll just use my NORMAL CAMERA then, ’cause that one doesn’t make a sound when I snap pictures with it (shutter sound can be turned off).

@Fabian
Personally I doubt the law will actually pass so don’t worry about it at least for now

I was the first to create a Camera Mute Application for the BlackBerry but because of this upcoming Law I wouldn’t release it.

There’s already an app that mutes the shutter sound – BerryAnnoying. LOL if this law passes, I may just ask my congressman for my $4 if I can’t use the app! Seriously, like they have nothing better to do!?

So what if someone releases an application that mutes the shutter sound?
