New York May Ban iPods in Crosswalks

Posted by Dave Blount at February 7, 2007 9:06 PM

With each law passed by moonbat bureaucrats we progress one step closer to their ideal society, in which everything that is not mandatory is forbidden. Today's step is legislation introduced in New York State that would make it illegal to use an iPod, BlackBerry, or cell phone in a crosswalk, on the grounds that these devices could distract pedestrians and cause accidents.

The bill appears to target New York City, where distractions are so ubiquitous, you might be talking on the phone and not even notice. It was introduced by State Senator Carl Kruger, who hopes New York's City Council will support his idea. It probably will, considering that it has already banned indoor smoking and trans fats in restaurants.

Incredibly, there are no New York City regulations determining the minimum amount of wax you can have in your ears while crossing the street, even though common sense suggests that excessive wax buildup could prevent pedestrians from hearing car horns and even sirens.
