There was such a simple solution all along

  This is paraphrasing a swedish politician called Annie Lööf. She has been made fun of and ridiculed for that phrase for a long time.
  However, that’s not what she said. The context was simplifying rules and regulations for companies, and she was asked if fewer rules would make it easier for companies to do illegal things. Her answer was: “In Sweden it has since long been illegal to run a business with criminal intent”.
  This “criminal intent” is the difficult part. If I buy and sell antiques that’s one thing, if I buy and sell stolen goods, that’s another. The difference is criminal intent.

  Once we execute suicidal people, we solve that problem too

      That’s vigilantism and illegal. I hope they are punished for that!

  My judge friend tole me that we have a similar thing in Slovakia, a catch all law that says that if you are doing something that’s illegal but try to argue around it by using the specific wording of the law it’s still illegal, basically you can’t do the, “show me a law that says dogs cant play basketball” thing

    In effect, “the law doesn’t make illegal what it says is illegal. The law makes illegal whatever I want it to say.”

    What could go wrong.

      Not like that, it’s for trying to get around specific wording. and in my country you actually have to be a competent judge, you go through a rigorous process and there are no 12 idiots to make the decisions.

      Basically if it’s reasonably clear that you are trying to break the law but trying to weasel around it.
