New year, new laws
With the start of a new year comes an onslaught of brand new laws in states all across the country. Here are a couple of good ones.
Several months ago, I blogged about what a great idea this was, and beginning today in neighboring Illinois, the Cindy Bischof law goes into effect. Blago got this one right.
Here’s another new law worthy of merit. Taggers in California will now be required to clean up their criminal mess. Graffiti is not art, it’s destruction.
But not every law is a good one. Take for example this gem in Arizona. Some lawmaker really got too creative when this got concocted. It’s now a no-no if motorists don’t make sure their license plate holder allows the name, “Arizona” on the plate to be seen. If the view is obstructed, it could mean a hefty fine.
Excuse me, but Arizona seriously wants their law enforcers to be out searching high and low for this grave injustice? Don't they, as is so often said, have more important things to do?
Here’s a rundown of many of the news laws that go on the books today from Stateline.
