New Ill. laws hit texting, cover shoes, not budget

I must admit laws for sex offenders get dumber and dumber, can you imagine how quickly a computer would be rendered useless if worthless temporary files were not deleted. Its like how quickly a car would be destroyed if one never changed the oil. Is there a lawmaker anywhere that knows anything about a computer, or the Internet?

UPDATE: Will there be a law enacted, so that, if a sex offender buys a computer, that the delete key must be removed?

12-28-2009 Illinois:

While Illinois lawmakers were unable during their last legislative session to resolve a mounting budget crisis, they were able to reach agreement on the passage of 300 new laws that take effect Jan. 1.

These new laws range from warning bowlers about the dangers of wearing bowling shoes outdoors to seeking help for compulsive hoarders over the age of 60.

.....

Internet Safety

A law targeting Internet safety prohibits a convicted sex offender from accessing a social networking Web site while on parole, mandatory supervised release, probation, conditional discharge or court supervision.

Another law targeting sex offenders makes it illegal for them to use computer software to delete information on any computer used by the offender.
