- hajile 4y agoFirst, that bill was introduced, but died on the floor. Second, if it were passed, intent can be very hard to prove -- even in seemingly clear-cut cases. Third, only the DOJ could choose to actually prosecute.
- danans 4y agoFair point about the bill not being passed. I should have noticed that. > Second, if it were passed, intent can be very hard to prove -- even in seemingly clear-cut cases. It's not at all clear cut in my opinion. This is information that is already in a public database, and it's the location of an airplane - not a person. That's not a technicality, unless the airplane is somehow a primary residence. It's pretty different than publishing someone's private phone number or the name of the school that their children attend. The latter type of information is actually private.
