Summary


'Thrill' bill advances

The House of Delegates unanimously approved a bill last week to outlaw thrill filming - persuading another person to commit certain traffic violations for the purpose of filming or videotaping them. House Bill 616 was introduced by Del. Joseph Bartlett, R-Frederick, in response to the death of a motorcyclist who crashed while being videotaped stunt-riding on U.S. 340 near Frederick in September 2004. If the bill is also passed by the state Senate and signed by the governor, it would make it a misdemeanor, punishable by up to three years in jail and a $3,000 fine, for a filmmaker, videographer or photographer to persuade someone to commit any traffic violation subject to a jail sentence for the purpose of recording the illegal act without written permission from the state police or the county government.
