People who rob upper-middle class homes are not going to do so because they have a house layout in advance. They're just going to rob the house. And anybody who goes to the lengths of buying Amazon data on the black market is not going

If I sell my old couch at a loss for $600, and get paid with Venmo, the default behavior now is to have a form sent to the IRS. The burden is on me to prove it is a loss and have the documentation to back it up, or risk having $600 of taxa

The other side of this is that many laws do not neatly accommodate advances in technology. There are currently laws in place that predate cars, predate the internet, predate electricity. At some point, in some contexts, they will be a hinde
