Sexuality sees a lot of those (a 12-year-old photoing himself skinny-dipping is a pedophile, an 18-year-old having sex with his 16-year-old GF is a sexual preditor (look at that case a few years back in Atlanta), and don't get me started on the reasonableness of multi-million-dollar fines for downloading songs.

Not exactly what I was talking about there. I meant at least one court case has to be in the books before a judge can even think of overturning a law. That is just the way things work.

I was under the false impression that this bill was already a law. Oops.

There are already laws on trespassing. There are even some limiting the photography of structures and people (civil not criminal). What public good is possibly served by this law?
