"I seems like everything is being constantly interpreted and even reinterpreted as language changes but the law doesn't" I don't think it's so much language changes as society changes. Social norms and taboos change. Technology changes. It's like how code needs maintenance because it breaks. The world is changing. This is a feature not a bug. Hypothetical example. Lets say there were noise regulations designed before electricity. But once you have electricity, now people have loud speakers. How do we interpret the law? Does the existing law really work? "I'd like to see laws come with unit tests, "under circumstance a, b and c, person x would be at fault"" This is pretty much exactly what they do. Look at all the sub sections spelling everything out exactly. It is as precise as can be. https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/939/III/48 https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/939/III/4...
