We have had a little break from Jack Thompson as he has been dealing with the Florida Bar Association, but we have heard from him again about the video game 25 to Life.
The game is set to release soon and Thompson has written a letter to Bill Lockyer, the Attorney General of California. The letter asks Lockyer to block the release of the game. Here is an excerpt from the letter.
“…Please know that California Civil Code Section 3495 enables and authorizes each and every law enforcement officer to walk into any video game store, without a court order, to seize and destroy each and every copy of 25 to Life. California law treats this as acceptable ‘abatement’ of a public nuisance by parties particularly endangered by such a nuisance.”
“In the next six days I intend to take to the public airwaves in California, and to use other means, to encourage all law enforcement officers in California to in fact go into video game stores and seize all copies of 25 to Life.”
Don’t worry, we think the game is safe from the seizure of police officers, but apparently the video game industry is not yet safe from Jack Thompson.
