Fl. Senate Bill Would Make Farm Photography A First-Degree Felony In Florida Thanks To This Retard From Tampa  A bill by state Sen. Jim Norman, R-Tampa, would make photographing farms without the written consent of the owner a first-degree felony in Florida.  The language of the bill, which is very brief, notes that video or photographic records taken “at or of a farm” would become illegal, and the guilty party could face the same penalties as a violent criminal — including a $10,000 fine and up to 30 years in prison. Senate Bill 1246 has caused a stir among animal-advocacy groups for comparing a potential whistleblower who might expose the realities of factory farming — or even a tourist snapping a photograph of cows grazing in a field — with those who commit murder or armed robbery.“It’s beyond ridiculous, blatantly unconstitutional and clearly designed to protect animal abusers,”. “He should be introducing bills to require cameras be in slaughterhouses and animal-raising facilities so the abusers can be identified and prosecuted, not protected behind closed doors.” Jim Norman is a former Hillsborough county commissioner who became embroiled in controversy last fall and was briefly removed from the ballot after failing to disclose that his wife had received a $500,000 home loan from a Tampa businessman Norman had a cozy relationship with. It's this kind of moron that gives Florida a bad name! Someone should take this half-wit  aside and slowly explain the First Amendment to him and then impeach him! YOU CAN CONTACT HIM AT (850) 487-5068  norman.jim.web@  flsenate.gov                         READ ENTIRE ARTICLE
