Sex Offenders Must Hand Over Online Passwords 630
mytrip writes "Privacy advocates are questioning an aggressive Georgia law set to take effect Thursday that would require sex offenders to hand over Internet passwords, screen names and e-mail addresses.

* Cue creepy music and desaturated photo of current governor looking sneaky.
"Governor so-and-so is soft on crime. He's so soft on crime that he pardons sex offenders. Also, he hats old people and puppies. Vote for Other Dude, who we know is tough on crime because when he was DA he sent some kid to jail for 8 years for shoplifting a pack of gum.

Quite simple: Because there was a penis involved.

Walking is for people who leave their desks, we /.ers can't be expected to know much of the world beyond the basement, except what google earth shows us.
