I'm pretty amazed that "conspiracy to cause public nuisance" is an actual crime in a developed nation, much less that it can carry a 5 year jail sentence.

- chrisjj 2y agoYou might be less amazed if you check the definition of nuisance here. It includes causing death, personal injury or disease. And it can carry a 10-year jail sentence.
