This is a bad law, but this post is a bit clickbaity in the sense that the law is about "presumption" which means it's not inherently illegal. That isn't an excuse for a bad law, but it's a far cry from making the mere possession of six dildos per se a crime. Furthermore, while having bad laws on the books is a very bad thing, we have to ask how many people have been prosecuted and convicted on the basis of possessing six dildos. I don't know for sure, but a cursory search doesn't seem to turn up any cases except one from 30 years ago in which the defendant was acquitted. Again, not defending this law, but the article just seems like an attempt to dunk on the Republican state..which is fine - knock yourself out - but let's have a bit of perspective.
