> What's the statement here? The statement I see is that intent does not matter, which kind of flies in the face of most of the history of European criminal law. It’s because there is a certain school of thought that people should be punished and imprisoned for ‘immoral acts’ even it if hurts no one, they have no ill intent, and keep to themselves. See gun laws, drug laws, laws against homosexuality, obscenity laws, and speech laws. Turns out regardless of where you are on the mainstream political spectrum, forcing people to live a live a certain way in the privacy of their own home never goes out of style, except for well, a certain disfavored minority political group.
