Yeah deadly, goes hand in hand with that NYC spy on your neighbor crap they started pushing last year. Its absolutely insane, the same way cops that are called to a domestic dispute call a neighbor called in upon hearing two people yell at each other; on their own private property, within their own house and the cops directed to always take one or both parties to jail, its nonsense. The jail system is big business.
Many of these laws popping up are less about safety and more about getting people into the various systems. Similarly, more and more taxes are being levied on everything these days, its not about the environment or safety, its about finding new revenue streams.
If it was really about the betterment of the welfare of the people basic needs like food, clothing, water etc. wouldn't be taxed. We already have a carbon tax to "help the environment" and there are new regulations being put in place to even tax drivers by the miles they drive. Pretty soon air will be taxed, as you can see by these examples its not about safety or betterment of the citizenry.
