Measurable damage vs. forbidden
❝❝Mala in se means "bad in and of itself." Something is mala in se if and only if it threatens or results in measurable damage to life, liberty, and property. Mala prohibita means "bad because it is prohibited." Something is mala prohibita if and only if the state has forbidden it. I would add regulation as well.
To prove mala in se, you have to show measurable damage. Mala prohibita means that the government will impose morality and ethics by force.❞❞
