(c) Criminal prosecution based on regulatory offenses is most appropriate for those persons who know what is prohibited or required by the regulation and choose not to comply, thereby causing or risking substantial public harm.
What constitutes risking substantial harm? If I consume psychedelic mushrooms and tell people I had a positive experience, someone else might be inspired to take mushrooms and accidentally get hurt. My freedom of speech is stifled when people are worried about "liabilities".
What about the laws we haven't fixed yet that "we choose not to comply" with?
In my city most people drive 10MPH over the speed limit as a herd. 15-20MPH over is the danger zone where it is kind of acceptable depending on the location.
Can we have public discussions about this stuff and hash out the details together?
The mask mandates were forced on my state and I didn't have a say in it. If we had all voted on it, I'd have been okay with wearing one.
Please end the war on drugs. I know you folks are listening.
