It's probably not a bad thing to have laws against abandoning dangerous materials - but like the article states there should be provisions relating to the intent of the accused and the actual danger to the community, not simply a vague set of circumstances that someone might fall into.
- fatdog789 17y agoThere are specific circumstances given in the actual law. The article conveniently ignores those circumstances. For starters, "dangerous materials" is very strictly defined -- it's stuff like toxic chemicals, radioactive materials, and other things that are so inherently dangerous that only a criminal would simply abandon them without taking safeguards. These aren't your run-of-the-mill household are commercial goods -- these are, at a minimum, industrial-strength shit.
