Then who gets prosecuted?
- cynicalkane 1mo agoIn legal tradition, if there's not a law you broke, you can't be prosecuted for it. (Yes, I'm aware of numerous historical exceptions. Those exceptions are traditionally considered not ideal.)
- dragonwriter 1mo ago> In legal tradition, if there's not a law you broke, you can't be prosecuted for it. That’s incorrect. If there is not a law the prosecutor or plaintiff can point to and say you broke, you can’t be prosecuted. We wouldn’t need much legal process after a prosecution was initiated if it was impossible to prosecute without a law actually being broken.
