No, these aren't the same people that did that. The CIA (our local waterboarding advocate) operates with very little transparency and oversight... and we could go volumes on the pros and cons of that, but that's a whole other thing. And the FAA is not a law enforcement agency. (It's a policy enforcement agency, if anything)
They're not the same badge, perhaps, but in a more general sense they are very much the same. People in positions of power and responsibility, who are supposed to be responsible for ensuring our safety and security, instead use that power to advance their own agendas.

The Department of Justice declares waterboarding legal. Arizona gave its police forces a mandate to demand papers from whomever they want. Different, and the same.

Oh shit I live in Arizona
I'm scared now I mean yes our leaders are idiots who've done horrible things like Pass SB 1070 but really? This is a violation of civil rights.

Yet on the bright side, we'll finally be able to clean up the CoD community!

(In all honesty, this is a horrible, horrible law. Someone protest this. Now.)

So you can have people around the world who anonymously call you s mean name because you were acting like a twat fined for upwards of $2500? Even though things like being offended or annoyed are subjective? I would love to see this enforced, if only to see Arizona law enforcement struggle to do anything about the guy a continent away who said your youtube video was shit.

Captcha: Tune In, tune in tonight to see Outlandish legislation regarding the internet fail some more.

You shitting me? "We arrest people for offending someone over the internet" is not too unreasonable?

Sure glad I'm not living in Arizona.
Didn't read the whole thing did you? The law specifies that either the sender or the receiver can be in Arizona and it will still be a crime

I, for one, can't wait for exhibit A. That's when they roll out the TV and rick roll the jury.

So, can they extradite the whole of 4chan? I had better start using a proxy!
I think this would fall more on sites that have user names and avatars such as the escapist or Facebook. Not on some random image board you can post as anonymous or use a trip-code and get daily doses of strike witches porns.

That aside..well now this is just.. ah hell it's laughable to be honest good luck policing this and keeping people out jail/prisons. This really would help out there economy too because we all know that companies love to hire people with a back-ground...just a question to anyone that lives in Arizona, who the hell votes for these people??

While I'm all for jerks getting their comeuppance, it seems to me that if you're going to start trying to legislate good character targeting internet trolls rather than say, bigots or misogynists is like trying to swat a fly while your house is being surrounded by giant flesh eating spiders. Priorities, people. Christ and that's assuming that this bill is introduced with the best of intentions. Last I checked no one repealed the law of unintended consequences.

Just a thought, we don't really have any rights. There's a bunch of 'shortcut laws' that are being made for their convenience so they don't have to go through as much stuff before charging the people that have gained their unwanted attention. I think this is just another shortcut for them.

To everyone, this bill is offensive and will oppress the people of Arizona.

To the people of Arizona, this new bill is just a Tuesday.

Pretty soon Arizona will just be Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio because everyone else will be in prison. I guess it'll be up to those two to repopulate the state.

Try to get that image out of your heads.
I CAN'T!!! Oh God... I tried but I can't....

I am completely against the concept that we shouldn't be allowed to think for ourselves.
Sure, that's fine, nobody has a problem with that. It's fine to have the ability to think for yourself.

This on the other hand, this is NOT okay. People like this should never be allowed into society. This is exactly what the internet has become, and if we don't act by ourselves, bills are going to crop up to try and combat this. While this isn't the flagship of the argument, that being hate-mail (another common internet act) it sure does target roughly the same audience.

It's simple, we can clean ourselves up now, or have the government force us to later. Since the internet won't change, I'll stand behind our government when the hammer falls on this barbarianism.

Then you should probably get glasses.

Arizona is indeed a very Christian state. I'm not shocked that a group of people notoriously intolerant would want to continue to make laws that enforce their views.

It only took you how long to stop banning M-rated video games?
That's funny, because our PG rating for movies and games is M in America. We never banned R rated games, most of them were just rated MA instead--we must have stronger stomachs than the yanks. In fact, the U.S. has banned a great deal more than us.

It's fun to do research and not speak out my ass.

annoy or offend
I could maybe get behind harass and threaten, but annoy and offend? I'm Offended and annoyed by this bill, and I'm viewing it on the Internet. Arizona you be trolling me.

Also the swearing thing is laughable.
