Every important criminal law includes the idea of intent. Killing someone with a car because you sneezed is very different from intentionally running them over

Every important criminal law includes the idea of intent. Killing someone with a car because you sneezed is very different from intentionally running them over in the eyes of the law.
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> criminal law includes the idea of intent Yes, but intent alone isn't sufficient. We need a precise, side-effect light definition of the kinds of activities we want to ban and by whom. To date, I haven't seen that. Passing a law which bans "surveillance-based advertising" with little more specificity is a recipe for disaster.
