Another statewide ban on camera cell phone use in health clubs

Another day, another camera phone ban. And another politician taking a stand on a popular subject.

Assemblyman Scott Stringer (D-Manhattan) said yesterday he will push for a statewide ban on camera cell phone use in health clubs, reports the New York Daily News.

"This technology has the potential to really infringe on the privacy of New Yorkers," Stringer said, standing outside the 63rd St. YMCA, which has banned the phones.

The Colorado state Legislature passed a similar bill on Feb. 20 and New Jersey and Iowa are considering bans.

Because [sigh]:

"Voyeurs can snap photos in dressing rooms and post them on the Internet in less than a minute".
