Default Re: Your new and improved 2257 statute

There are 2 other sections in the bill that I thought could impact folks possibly.

They completely rewrote the forfeiture rules when busted for obscenity and replaced them with the rules for forfeitures for controlled substances, they added 2257 violations to the forfeiture rules.

As I read that (and I am not a lawyer) it means that it makes it a lot easier to grab property when you're busted for obscenity and puts you in the position of proving your innocence and then even then maybe not getting your stuff back (just like now with drug busts)

And they changed the wording of certain sections dealing with obscenity, changing it to cover producers of obscenity not just distributors etc.


In addition, they tacked a hate crimes statute on to the very end of the whole mess.

I just love the way we get laws passed around here, it's a wonder if any congressman or senator really knows what they are voting for or against
