I don’t agree. With the number of laws on the books, every one of us commits multiple crimes a day. The reason they are never prosecuted is because the prosecutors know they would never be able to get a conviction from a jury that also commits multiple crimes a day. A computer program that cannot take lived experience into account will only use the law as written and the facts of the case.
Fair point. But perhaps part of the answer is to get rid of most of our laws. Government is oppressive.
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
-Ayn Rand
The reason they are rarely prosecuted is that they were not intended to be enforced against the compliant sheep in the general public - but against challengers who threaten the established order.
