Interpreting Improper Photography Law
I am trying to make a point here to show how this Improper Photography Law cannot prohibiting those insane/sick people to satisfy themselves, in fact, it is rather gagging the freedom of expression.
Look at the following photos one after one:
A sick person can imaging whatever he think this is to his desire because he is alienated from the real world.
Just before your mind go too far to that unhealthy and insane thoughts .... Let me rescue you.
In fact, this is just a photo taken of an ordinary person in a park. The previous photo was just a very extreme crop of the following photo.
And when you finished seeing the previous photo, I would like to tell you that this photo actually was not the original photo I intended and actually shot.
It turned out to be just a photo more than ordinary.
See, how can this law prohibit those sick people from taking photos and satisfy their special desire. We can't control people's mind. What this law does is to create a chilling effect on the practice of documentary photography on ordinary citizens.
That's why I think some legislators was playing with law and abuse their power to earn political chips to satisfy their voters. I wonder why professional photography organizations have not been raising hell about this.
Maybe this is part of those Texas culture that I have not yet known.
So, tell me, what is "Don't mess with Texas means?"
.... shooting death a deaf who can't hear being asked to step off your lawn?
