declan,

If passed, Nevada Assembly Bill No. 441 (A441) would allow prosecution of a 
misdemeanor or felony for "disclosing or releasing any document, record or 
other item" which "reveals frequencies for radio transmissions used by 
response agencies" because doing so could ostensibly "compromise, 
jeopardize or otherwise threaten the public health, safety or welfare." 
(Sec 21.f)

(in 1996 the U.S. Secret Service told a judge I was "dangerous" because I 
possessed listings of radio frequencies.)

there also seems to be several other unconstitutional items in this bill:
