A selfie might land you in Jail


This is one of the weirdest news that I have heard all week. Taking a selfie may soon land you in jail if you are not careful. The house bill no. 4807 or anti-selfie bill was authored by Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro. Currently it is on its's second hearing in the House of Representative but is currently being greatly oppose by both majority and minority members of Congress. 

Why wouldn't they oppose it and what was the author thinking when he wrote the bill? Almost everyone has taken a selfie and banning it would be a sure violation of freedom of expression.
The photo below was from a article from Yahoo and states what the proposed bill is all about 



The bill is pretty vague and it is very unclear what would constitute an unlawful selfie. Why would they even consider this bill anyway?
