California Opens Office of Personal Privacy 7
Cy Guy writes "Legislation signed by California Governor Gray Davis today establishes an Office Personal Privacy within the Office of Consumer Affairs, where consumers will be able to file greivances if they feel their privacy has been violated. Read the Press Release for more info." Says it will open for business in 2002. Why the delay?
Good start, but... (Score:2)
Any attempt for this office to deal with out-of-state buisness would be shot down under the interstate commerce act unless they are committing a crime.
But as I said it is a good start, esp if the publish statics about the offenders.

Why the delay - by the time they open (2002) federal anti-privacy laws will make the department illegal and it will be forced to close.
Meanwhile, undisclosed parties will be able to make out with the large sums of taxpayer dollars spent in creating this department in the first place (you seriously don't think that they will give the money back do you?)
