My biggest problem with this?

My biggest problem with this? As a resident of Colorado, I have never heard of this law. The article suggests that the law was passed like many Colorado criminal statutes exclusively in the state house, never being asked for, voted on, or necessarily seen by any Colorado resident who doesn't have direct involvement with the law. Furthermore, LexisNexis: "Official Publisher of the Colorado Revised Statutes" has no record of a C.R.S. 18-7-107 code even existing. ( http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/Colorado/ ) Regardless of subjective arguments of morality, how can people be charged with criminal laws that they have no way of knowing exist?
