Ha ha ha ha ha what?

They're kidding, I trust.

No, really, fine you $100 for every time you walk across a crosswalk with your earphones on or your Blackberry out? If the government wants to wholesale steal my iPod, why can't they just do that? Then I won't be at risk of having $500 gouged out of my bank account every day when I walk to work (and $500 for when I walk back, so $2k because I go home for lunches...).

The trans fat ban at least makes some vague sense--nothing stops you from eating all the trans fats you can get your hands on, you just can't serve them to customers at your restaurant. Laws intended to keep other people from hurting you are a far sight better than laws intended to keep you from (often knowingly and willingly) hurting yourself.

Which is why the cell phone ban while you're driving makes sense and this one doesn't. You get hit, it's your own damn fault for not lowering your music volume.
