16. Going Beyond the Law
Wed Jul 11, 2018, 09:31 AM
Jul 2018

Again, it is easily solvable by changing the law so that "going beyond the law" IS the law. Why is this not done? Given the uproar over child sexual abuse, it seemingly should be the easiest thing in the world to accomplish.

The present muddle simply enables third parties to assign motives, invariably bad ones, to parties that they don't like.
