Comment on Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists

No, we often have to proscribe morality broadly, because engaging with the nuance with every instance is not really viable on a societal level. What are the chances that someone engaging with roadkill on the side of the road actually accidentally killed the animal, versus them doing it intentionally and claiming it was an accident? What would happen if this behaviour was normalized?

You’re talking about the legal system. Our laws are pragmatic, and account for things like lying.
OPs post is a philosophical question. The premise is whether it’s moral for you to fuck roadkill based on whether you killed it or now. Concerns like lying to a courtroom or to the people around you, are out of scope.
So philosophically:
This would be immoral, since they still killed the animal to fuck it.
