This isn't true in the least. Jaywalking and speeding can be done in a world with "population: 1", yet caught on camera would constitute a crime.
- visarga 9y agoWell, that example is pretty bad. There is no jaywalking crime when you're the last man on earth.
- mythrwy 9y agoTechnical still a crime, but just demand a jury trial in that case.

- rothbardrand 9y agoNope, neither of them are crimes and in fact, prosecuting someone for either of them is actually a crime. You're misusing the word crime here, despite me being very explicit about what I'm talking about. The law does not determine crime-- morality determines that the law is criminal itself, as I've shown.
