Next up, people who shoot video or take photos of animal cruelty will have to submit the material to law enforcement within 48 hours or face being charged with a crime under a bill approved by the Senate Tuesday.
Proponents say the bill is aimed at protecting animals. But critics like the Humane Society say the bill is really aimed at blocking investigators from providing sound documentation of animal abuse over weeks, months or years.
The Tennessee House is expected to take up the bill today.
