Targeting Geocachers
There are dark events brewing in Charlotte, South Carolina for fans of the great activity of geocaching.
A combination of a misunderstanding and a politician in need of cheap political capital has resulted in the scapegoating of the entire sport of geocaching.

I cannot tell what the repercussions will be here, but the idea of making walking in certain otherwise publicly accessible places illegal just because of a misunderstanding with one geocacher (which the geocaching community has risen to try to recitfy) is something like watching a slow-motion train wreck in action.
