Because Florida was hastily attach to America to be the tooshie of her laugh , this late while of ridiculousnessshould come as no surprisal : Florida might have accidentally banned all computers and smart earphone . How ? It all stems from a poorly worded bill that banned Internet coffeehouse and time slot machines .
The use of the ban was to pour down cyberspace coffee shop that allowed customers to take a chance online by playing game like bingo and other slot - type games . A thousand of those Internet cafe shut out down in Floridaafter the bill went into effect in Aprilbut it looks like Florida may have overlooked a few details in offing cyberspace cafes .
Now an owner of one of those net cafes that got close down , Consuelo Zapata , is fighting back and has discovered that in the appendage of shutting down Internet cafes , Florida might have just ostracize all reckoner and smartphones altogether .
The key is the wording of what was banned . The Huffington Post describe :
The ban delimitate illegal slot machines as any “ system or internet of devices ” that may be used in a game of luck .
As you could see , any system or electronic internet of gadget is a pretty extensive definition which mean it can be applied to “ any telephone number of gimmick ” , agree to Miami law business firm Kluger , Kaplan , Silverman , Katzen & Levine . Zapata is now suing the state in hopes that the courtyard calls the cyberspace cafe ban unconstitutional . I ’m on the QT hoping the courts adjudicate that banning all computer and smartphones is the legitimate matter to do in Florida just to see what will happen . [ Miami HeraldviaHuffington Post ]
