RIO DE JANEIRO Public transit vans like the one in which
an American student was gang raped last month were banned Thursday from
Rio de Janeiro's touristy South Zone neighborhoods.The measure was floated
late last year as a way to help ease the city's chronic
traffic jams but gained urgency as a safety measure in the wake
of the March 30 attack on the American woman and her French
companion, who were attacked by a van driver and two other young
men who brutalized them for about six hours inside the vehicle.Under a
decree published Thursday in the local government's Official Journal, the
vans will be prohibited from operating in high-rent neighborhoods including
Ipanema and Leblon beaches, as well as Copacabana, where the two foreigners
boarded the van to travel to a nightlife hotspot in downtown. Exceptions
will be made for vans serving two "favela" hillside slums sandwiched between
high-rent South Zone neighborhoods, according to the decree, which takes
effect on Monday.Without the vans and with a key metro station closed
pending the extension of the subway, residents and workers in the South
Zone will need to rely on buses, taxis and private vehicles to
get around.The 12-seat vans are seen as a quicker alternative to buses
and largely travel the same routes. They will continue to ply the

them up and say we have an emergency and we get the
information immediately.But that isnt always the case for local law enforcement
in many states. Only nine have adopted Kelseys Law, requiring cellphone
companies to release pertinent information to police in an emergency, like
an abducted teenager or an elderly person who wanders off and cant
be found. Since Kansas adopted the law in 2009, Nebraska, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, North Dakota, Missouri, Hawaii, Tennessee and Utah have followed
suit.Missey Smith and her husband, Greg, a Kansas state senator, are the
law's toughest proponents, traveling the country to lobby the legislation
by speaking before lawmakers in various states. The couple visited Rhode
Island last week and Nevada on Monday.The latest draft of Kelseys law,
obtained by FoxNews.com, also protects cellphone providers from lawsuits,
stating, No cause of action shall lie in any court against any
provider of a commercial mobile service or an IP-enabled voice service,
its officers, employees or agents for providing call location information
in an emergency situation. The information is readily available to cellphone
providers within 15 to 20 minutes and we could no
