Recently in the state of Washington (U.S., home of Boeing, Microsoft, Nintendo USA headquarters, Starbucks, and grunge for all non-U.S. folks) there was a law passed calling for a $500 fine for any video store clerk who rents (or sells) a video game to a person age 17 or younger that depicts any violence directed toward a public law enforcement officer. The law is scheduled to take effect in July. Free speech advocates have already filed lawsuits against the state to prevent the law from taking effect.
