Good luck with that holding up in court. I could actually see crime going up because people will be afraid to call in suspicious activity.

A law its self is meaningless, the deterent and effectiveness of the deterent is how its enforced and also to a degree the publics will to allow it to be enforced.
There's numerous laws in my own country I and every on else here break on regular basis, and I'm not talking about some old forgotten ones, its well known that the max speed limit in the UK is 70mph but its also well know the police don't bother pulling people over for anything under 80-85 because simply put there so many people who do that on the motorway its impossible to enforce, thus the law in that case is essentially meaningless as a deterent, they could lower the speed limit to 60 or 50 on the motorway but it wouldn't matter.
Legislation is and always has been a very poor method for effecting changes in the publics behaviour.
Extra Laws ontop of the laws that already exist for this behaviour won't deter these people, what there doing is already illegal anyway.
What this is, is just a legislative token gesture, European governments and my own government pump these out fairly regularly, new laws ontop of old laws, bits of amendments, clarifying, expanding categorys blah blah, I've seen hindered of laws passed in my life time exactly like this one and I'll see a hundred more before I'm gone, non of them make any real difference.
The social changes needed to stamp out an abhorant behaviour can only come from within a society, they cannot be imposed on it.
Why do people in San Francisco call 911 for racism? They should be arrested for it.

They spelled "Karen" wrong.
Law is now literally unfollowable.
Well I like that the U.K has ASBO laws in general however my problem here is with the redundancy and and legislating laws that really don't mean anything especially when there are already laws not being used. More is not better here, and especially when dealing with a cultural problem
Laws are good, but they can't be used in place of good policy.

Hmf...it's San Francisco.
The thinking is a little off there.
There probably isn't a better chance of them getting hit by a tsunami in Iowa.

I doubt the chance of a tsunami hitting Iowa is even remotely close to 1 in a million, while the chance of a black person being killed by police seems to average at least 1-2 in a hundred thousand.
