It's the (Rule)!

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Oh yeah. It's horrible, and puts way too much power in the hands of DAs and AGs. Also it lets our legislators create lazy law on the assumption the right people will be spared, and the wrong people (e.g. poor and minorities) will become prison fodder.
I'd rather we had iron-clad difficult to re-interpret laws for which enforcement was obligatory. Then every miscarriage of justice (e.g. tweens in juvie for violating social media TOS) would be a call to fix the problem with aggressive legislative revision.
Notes for the next iteration of the United States, I suppose.
