If it did solve a problem, it's possible it would be legal.

  > If it did solve a problem, it's possible it would be legal. FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor. I think this illustrates how a law can protect problems rather than solving them.

      >> FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor > Source? the defendant in the lawsuit can use the plaintiff’s participation in a "riot," as defined by the 2021 law, as "an affirmative defense." This means that the person being sued can argue in court that their action was justified by the riot. https://api.politifact.com/article/2025/jun/13/can-florida-drivers-run-over-protesters/ https://api.politifact.com/article/2025/jun/13/can-florida-d... >> FL crafted a law to help safeguard someone who gets sued for running over a protestor > Not true. This last bit seems like a pretty firm assertion. What is your source for it?

        For starters, the headline of your link disproves your assertion. Second, a rioter is not the same as a protestor. Third, someone must have been in threat from a rioter to use that defense successfully.
