Ya know, any non-pervert can use those non-phone cameras for all of the use cases you mentioned too... Is taking pictures of your fancy dinner or jumpy pets really so hard to do with a superior and low cost dedicated camera? The results will be superior for a fraction of the price!
Here's the thing you refuse to acknowledge (or perhaps didn't think through before writing) -- when someone is holding a P+S camera or bigger, everyone knows they're taking a picture. But when someone is holding a smartphone, you assume they are not taking a picture because 99.9% of the time phones are not in camera mode.
The point wasn't to ensure that all cameras made noise, it was to ensure that a phone couldn't be used as a secret camera in public.
Seriously, I struggle to parse the logic here: Do you think that creepers are taking actual full size cameras into subways for creepshots? Or are you thinking they're using "Spy Camera" type devices? Because the people the law was meant to deter generally aren't that level of creeper, and their creepshots are a crime of convenience not a premeditated act of sexual assault.
- bighi 7y agoThe user you're replying to said "other camera app". They meant apps, not a full sized camera.
- criley2 7y agoSo, they're complaining that creeps can use apps to take pictures but regular people can't? Their whole argument boils down to regular users not being able to download an app from the app store? Wow. You're right, I assumed their argument was a lot better than that. Oof.
- MadWombat 7y agoThe argument is that the shutter sound inconveniences regular users while doing nothing to prevent the misuse it claims to prevent. Which part did you miss?
- criley2 7y agoI missed the part where every creeper alive circumvents the policy without inconvenience but every other user alive can't. I require consistency, so either EVERYONE is inconvenienced, or EVERYONE can circumvent it without issue. The part I missed is the justification for inconsistent and illogical arguments where magically your ability to be inconvenienced is based only on your desire to be a creep.
