Thought Police Soon to Be on Patrol in Maine

Have you ever enjoyed sitting on a park bench, basking in the sunshine, listening to the sound of chirping birds, and watching the neighborhood kids play on the merry-go-round? Well, that last thing could land you in jail if the park bench happens to be in Maine.

A bill that passed the State House last month aims to crack down on "visual sexual aggression" against kids. This is apparently the next logical step in responding to what York Police Chief Doug Bracy calls "a growing outcry by the public to protect our children."

Yes, just tell everyone it's "for the kids." Works every time.
