One thing you have to realize about the law, it doesn't translate to a rule set, as understood by computers, at all. If that were the case we could just implement the law in code, there would be no need for judges or lawyers, and every case should be clear. But the law isn't just a bunch of logical statements, that you can run any given situation against, instead it constantly leads to edge cases or even contradictions. People practicing the law are interpreters, that often have to argue about how a real world situation even fits into this rule set.
It's weird if you think about it, but from a logical standpoint, whether or not you broke the law is often undefined.
