I'm curious to know if you have any examples of this because I can't find one.

- akerl_ 3y agoThose two links are the same one person.
- heavyset_go 3y agoI know. The second link contains more info than the first.

But, if a law is never enforced, it should be deleted. Otherwise, one day you decide you don't like someone's political views, and suddenly they are the first case of purchasing 9.1g of Sudafed in a single 30 day period. Dead code is just waiting to be a security incident.
