Might it be an idea to push the data trough the tor network just to keep people safe who didn’t read the law books on the subject?

I wonder how the law rates a nose. I mean, if someone in Wyoming sets a fart free, will it be legal to smell it when it is not in your own house?

So you live in Wyoming and a stranger farts in your house then you may say WHAAAA that’s bad air!! But if you are in a cafe, and some stranger farts then you have to ignore it alltogether. after all you nose ‘collects data’ when it ‘registers’ the bad air.
😀

And, what excuse does the NSA use when it is collecting data of everyone, including the ones living in Wyoming?

Privacy, and I hope that the future firmware with encryption is helping to provide more privacy for all of us and I’m sure everything is being done to respect everyones privacy.

I’m trying to understand the document, but I wonder how the law can forbid anyone to ‘smell for ionization’ or any other toxic stuff. Trespassing and making pictures of someones property is something different. Or is it just a matter of staying in public space?

It’s really a matter of how you read this. It really looks like it is illegal to investigate who is poisoning you, but the one who spreads the poison is protected by the law since you may not try to find out where the poison is coming from unless you take A LOT of effort to challenge the law and to figure out a way around the law to is killing you. This on it’s turn could take years, and you might be dead before you find the cause.

But using the TOR network would that be an option?

This law is naked globalism, aka corporate facism

I think someone overreacted. I’ve just perused the bill posted in the first LEGISCAN link (which looks like a draft anyway) and found this definition:

<<“Collect” means to take a sample of material, acquire, gather, photograph or otherwise preserve information in any form from open land which is submitted or intended to be submitted to any agency of the state or federal government;>>

So, as long as you don’t collect data with the intention of submitting it to the government, you’re good to go.

This link looks like the final form of the law:

http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2015/bills/SF0012.pdf

which says:

<<“Resource data” does not include data: […]
(D) Collected incidental to a recreational activity or educational activity done with statutory, contractual or other legal authorization to enter or cross open private land and the data is not used for legal or regulatory proceeding.>>

So I guess you can take photos again while hiking. Who knows, maybe even smuggle a thermometer in your tent.
