This sort of obvious misapplication of law can't be prevented by anything sort of making entirely pointless laws nobody will bother with.
It is a pretty hollow objection to say that "this law is being misused in regions where law is applied arbitrarily!".

- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> This sort of obvious misapplication of law can't be prevented Sure it can. Complain-and-investigate frameworks are among the more onerous regulatory designs. America features them in its securities regulations, but that's because nothing short of a high-calibre solution was working. Other options include absolute liability, negotiated settlement, reporting & monitoring, subsidized mediation & arbitration and combinations thereof. If one really wanted a complain-and-investigate model, a single European enforcement body would have been superior to letting each of the EU's members interpret and enforce the regulation to their preferences. These issues were brought up early, often and loudly. Unfortunately, opposition to the law was repeatedly conflated with opposition to its aims.
