That is my understanding as well. One reason I ask is that such laws would require cooperation between governments and agreements ahead of times around processes and procedures. I am curious if such agreements exist and to what extent such processes are in place.
- chmod775 5y agoYou give legislators too much credit. Laws are written all the time without thought about enforceability.
- vba616 5y agoSomething I've not heard anything about from an authoritative source - in the US, I've noticed laws being written with a preface that makes a political statement about what the law is, does, and why, and it is not at all consistent with the rest of it, which defines terms carefully. It seems to be a trick to send a chosen message to the media without having any effect on the court system. So I wonder if that could account for the "unenforceability" of some laws - basically what the law is reported as being, is just a fiction for the public, so the courts don't even engage with it.
- LinuxBender 5y agoI think you're right. This may be political posturing to appease someone.
