When the law was past, no one had vid cams.

Unlike vid films, a clip on 3g phones could be past onto a million people in a few hours (just look at the star wars clip). That makes things different due to the fact thats mass publication.
But then you're taking things too literally at the moment. In theory they can still prosecute a taxi in London for not carrying a bale of hay as far as I know. Fortunately most of the time the enforcement of the law stays on this side of sensible. Mind you, it's always intresting when it doesn't and someone in the police/CPS does get a bit carried away.

On the odd occassion they are stupid good legal help will usually get it overturned in court anyway, by being able to prove that a certain law is now outdated and not really applicable to today.
