Call the police, I have been spammed!
Colorado passed HB 08-1178 aka the “Spam Reduction Act of 2008″ which makes it illegal to send spam to a Colorado citizen. It gives the state Attorney General the right to prosecute email abuse.
According to a Colorado Democrats statement “HB 1178 increases the odds of catching email spammers by providing state enforcement authority similar to federal authority against unwanted e-mails. Colorado consumers can now take complaints to local authorities. (Rep. Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora; Sen. Bob Hagedorn, D-Arapahoe County) “
What would you like to bet that the Attorney General probably doesn’t have the resources to start investigating spam complaints, and if someone did call the police to file a spam complaint that they would get laughed at? Did I mention that I get about 100 spam messages a day? That’s what happens when your email address is over 10 years old–seriously should I call the 5-0?
