I read this article, and have read prior articles on proposed laws that would fine a person for having head phones on or ear buds in place while doing a wide variety of activities. First let me state this is nothing new, since I was a teen with my head phones on back in the early 1980s these types of laws with fines have been discussed.
If I were a lawyer I would take a case as a class action against these laws. Why? Because if a deaf person can walk freely down the street then a hearing impaired (due to ear phones) person should be allowed to.
What really needs to happen is the end user paying attention around them, be aware of your surroundings! That applies also to the guy in the car rocking out to AC/DC and head banging the whole trip. For the very low number of people hurt or killed by these incidents making a law against it is outlandish and a waste of taxpayer money!
