New legislation always faces the challenge of being specific enough when defining the target that is being sought with restrictions or sanctions. There is no justice in casting a big net hoping it catches the right activity or individuals. Creating a series of unintended consequences or injustices is a caution.
The attached article from Reason describes how one person faced criminal challenges for innocent behavior.
Florida bills SB1238/HB1135 Lewd and Lascivious Grooming have potential shortcomings that could lead to similar scenarios described in the attached story. The potential for teachers, youth pastors, mentors in protected classes facing unintended risks exists.
if you do a search on …. the morality of law enforcement you can find many answers. Here’s one …

Injustice anywhere is Injustice everywhere was a famous speech at one time. Can law enforcement pervert their own self-justification in their own actions? This story tells the truth and even this internet set-up does also. Where doing it to keep adults from talking to teenager via the internet when they play the teen themselves. what self justification.

This article is so typical of how law enforcement works. It’s not just on Asian massage parlors. They use vague terms like ,sex offender or predator or alarming high recidivism rate And many other terms to insinuate guilt without any evidence what so ever. I heard a comment on tv the other evening about an alleged sex crime where the person said he had never heard of this type crime where there was only one victim. This is what we’re up against. We are dealing with a world of ignorant fools.
