Wisconsin anti-prank calling bill has ‘nothing’ to do with The Buffalo Beast | The Raw Story

A bill in the Wisconsin legislature that would impose penalties for making prank phone calls actually has nothing to do with a recent prank call that duped Governor Scott Walker into chatting candidly with a journalist pretending to be billionaire tea party financier David Koch.

Or, that's what they're saying anyway....

The proposed law would mandate fines from $1,000-$10,000 for anyone who falsifies caller ID data, gives a fake number or otherwise deceives the call's recipients in order to defraud, cause harm or wrongfully obtain information....

And...wait...here's the punchline...

Government regulators and police, however, would be exempt from these restrictions.
