Camphone to be banned on Australian beaches?

A few month ago, a man was fined in Australia for secretly taking pictures with his cell phone of a woman sunbathing topless. Another man will face court after allegedly being caught at the same beach with 75 images of topless women in his phone.

Now Australian authorities, thinking that some users have been taking in too much of the beach-side scenery, are considering banning camera phones on the country's beaches.

One law expert says any camera ban will be almost impossible to enforce, since everyone takes them to the beach. (via Kfor)
