The return of mens rea requirements and sharp curtailing of strict liability crimes would solve some of the effect of "surprise laws" at the cost of making enforcement and convictions more difficult - which some to many would call a feature and not a bug.
- Proziam 6y agoI'm firmly in the camp that convictions should be difficult to get. I dislike the manipulations of the legal system that universally work against the average person and for the large entities or wealthy who can afford expertise. Jury Nullification is one such example. Threats of life in prison (even if innocent) unless you plea down to a lesser charge is another.
