I agree. It's a shame legislators don't see this sort of thing in the same light as the court described in the article. Laws like this have far reaching and sinister consequences.
This sort of problem is summed up nicely in the original post -
"As the Ninth Circuit explained, “Ubiquitous, seldom-prosecuted crimes invite arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.”"

- charonn0 14y agoI think it has more to do with their priorities. They want to be reelected, which has become less a matter of policy stance and more of financing campaigns.
