There are plenty of laws against it

(Before It's News)

The law is getting very complicated. In the past fifty years procedures have changed, many new laws have been enacted and we seem to be moving away from the principle that everything is permitted unless it is specifically prohibited to a principle that everything is prohibited unless it is permitted.

Law is important because it governs us, far more than our government. Some of the complexity of law is inevitable as society itself because more complex. Some of the complexity of the law is unnecessary.

It is hard for someone who has not studied the law to understand it; ignorance of the law is no excuse. “I did not know it was against the law” has always been no defence, but now, increasingly “there is no law against it” is no longer a defence in many cases.
