  We can't rely on the legal system to protect us from everything. At best, the system can only react and keep us from making the same mistake twice, To anticipate and respond to new threats and get the reaction right the first time, we need some sort of highly creative and autonomous decision engine that can quickly make decisions from the perspective of an individual. That would be you.

    I think the legal system should deal with fraud where someone makes it appear that they are someone else. Individuals can't exhaustively research every little thing they do, that would lead to the most inefficient society imaginable. This isn't a computer system, so there are other options than anticipating and responding. For one, there can be a deterrent if the penalty is large enough to overcome the possible upside of getting away with it.
