Mala prohibita

Quotes & Thinkums❝❝Bad because it is prohibited. Something is mala prohibita if and only if the state has forbidden it. I would add regulation as well. Driving without a license or insurance, unusual sex, public nudity, profanity, recreational drug use, opening a small business without the "proper" permit, all these are included. The key concept here is "forbidden." Mala prohibita means that the government will impose morality and ethics by force.
It's no secret that I believe most of the problems in American society are because of too much government and mala prohibita laws.❞❞
