There should be push back against the idea it's inherently a crime to either R&D the operation of your own property, or modify it. There is a long standing tradition of car modification in the U.S. especially, I think it's unacceptable for this to be proscribed by making it a crime or even subject to civil action. Obviously any modification I make, is my liability, but that's a totally different thing that saying it's disallowed.
