Bad Laws: Just Ignore Them?
Law Professor and Instapundit Glenn Reynolds has an interesting column up over on his MSNBC weblog today. Writing about dumb laws, he says:
...law is like anything else: when the supply outstrips the demand, its value falls. If law were restricted to things like rape, robbery, and murder, its prestige would be higher. When we make felonies out of trivial crimes, though, the law loses prestige. As the old bumper stickers about the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit used to say: “It’s not a good idea. It’s just the law.”
The answer perhaps, Reynolds says, is simply to ignore them.
