Josh Rabinowitz, publisher of SkateboardDirectory.com, said he saw the law as chipping away at civil liberties and parents' rights to raise their children as they want to, and that the law was just another way for government to raise revenue, "like all of these ticketing laws that are supposedly for our safety."
