The Camera Phone Code of Conduct

cameraphone

Sorta pointless, since anyone who would do any of this stuff probably isn't going to listen to an industry trade group (or anyone else for that matter), but the Consumer Electronics Association decided that it was high time to create a "Camera Phone Code of Conduct" to help consumers understand the great "public responsibilty that comes with owning this type of product" (if we'd known it was going to be so burdensome, we'd have bought that cameraless Treo instead). The code mainly consists of stuff like, don't take sneaky photos of naked people in locker rooms (the party's over!), no snapping pics of confidential information (sorry corporate spies), that you use "discretion" when photographing anyone under 18 (we won't even go there), that you shouldn't use your cameraphone while driving, etc. etc.
