Democrats have the reputation of being the party that wants the government to stay out of your bedroom -- just so long as you're not playing Pokemon Go in there.

New York Assemblyman Felix Ortiz (D) is proposing new regulations to the new augmented reality game Pokemon Go, claiming it threatens public safety.

"Like any new technology, it has its advantages and disadvantages, and like any new technology, it has to be looked at very, very carefully. Everything comes down to people’s responsibility as well as corporate responsibility,” Ortiz in a statement on Tuesday. "Every single one of us who might want to play this game have to be very cautious. Who’s sending what, and what is the follow up? Everyone should be cautious to make sure that no intruders will be able to tap into this and have people think they’re going to the park when in reality they’re going to a be targeted by some rapist. People could think they’re going to the bank, but in reality, someone is waiting to take their money.”

There's almost a certainty that Ortiz has never played this game and doesn't know what he's talking about -- but if it strengthens the nanny state it must be good.

Ortiz has a history of wanting the government to regulate or control everything that someone could consider entertaining. In the past, he has proposed banning salt from restaurants, taxing sugary drinks, putting age restrictions on who can ride hoverboards, and adding a sin tax if someone wanted to enter a strip club.
