Might a simple way to help fix the justice system in this country be to simply require that all criminal cases have a plaintiff? It gets rid of all sorts of victimless crimes very quickly, and takes the teeth out of ridiculous laws like Constructive Intent. Any thoughts?
A plantiff other then the government, unless the government can show it was harmed directly, and every plantiff has to show harm was done.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was going for, though I did not make specific note of it.
DeleteWhile your at it you should also require that the defendant be a person.

That would certainly be a step in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteYes. Where there is no harm done, there should not be a codified crime. Your proposal would certainly clarify this.
