Criminalizing objectionable behavior


Are you guilty today?

"Across the USA, legislators are criminalizing everything from spitting on a school bus to speaking on a cellphone while driving. Criminalizing bad behavior has become the rage among politicians, who view such action as a type of legislative exclamation point demonstrating the seriousness of their cause. As a result, new crimes are proliferating at an alarming rate, and we risk becoming a nation of criminals where carelessness or even rudeness is enough to secure a criminal record."
— Jonathan Turley, Justice? What a joke., USATODAY.com

A strong reason why government should not try to inflict morality or ethics on citizens.
