Priorities

You gotta wonder about the priorities we as a society seem to be moving towards:

Here's a section from the Indiana Criminal code dealing with child molesting ...

IC 35-42-4-3

Child molesting

Sec. 3.

(b) A person who, with a child under fourteen (14) years of age, performs or submits to any fondling or touching, of either the child or the older person, with intent to arouse or to satisfy the sexual desires of either the child or the older person, commits child molesting, a Class C felony.

IC 35-50-2-6

Class C felony;

Sec. 6. (a) A person who commits a Class C felony shall be imprisoned for a fixed term of four (4) years, with not more than four (4) years added for aggravating circumstances or not more than two (2) years subtracted for mitigating circumstances. In addition, he may be fined not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

Here's a link to a story of proposed Federal legislation dealing with entering a theater while carrying a camcorder:
