It's from a topic in a book [1] that is sometimes also discussed on forums. The gist of it is something to the effect of, there are so many laws and so much wiggle room in most of the laws that each person is committing multiple felonies per day without knowing it thus empowering agencies to arrest just about anyone at any given time. The United States of America has the highest incarceration rate of the world is just one small example of that.

- erikerikson 5mo agoI was aware of the de facto state but not the book, thank you for sharing that. Still, I was hoping for examples.
- Bender 5mo agoOh you meant like case law examples. It's a bit of reading but search for examples of case law where a person was convicted on technicalities but not violating the spirit of the law, sometimes later being over-turned. I don't have any examples and I hate to suggest this but maybe start with whatever LLM you use.
- erikerikson 5mo agoI avoid LLMs but wasn't concerned with case law as much as a specific law on the books, whether used or not. A peer comment offered mishandling of mail not addressed to you.
