Now games smuggling can be a serious insustry, though I just had this pic in my head of a darkened alley with a little nerd-guy and a tough looking smuggler.

"All here"
"Leet"
Nods are exchanged.

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

I think you'd be killing a couple police men there, but what happens to the RPGs where you have to kill town watchmen?Captain tycho wrote:"Violence against law enforcement officers?"
How is that worse than games that depict, say, the slaughtering of an entire city?

Usually, a game that depicts violence against law enforcement officers would have a mature rating anyway. What does this law change? Not a goddamned thing. Will retailers give a damn about who buys the games? Nope. Will anybody get punishment for this? Uh-uh.
Just another example of neutered legislation that looks "good" on paper (to some small-minded people, anyway) but here in reality, has absolutely no effect.
