The next question needs to be (assuming they feel it should be allowed) is do they feel there should be allowances for someone to be above this law? In our current climate we are seeing criminal looking behavior in the US by people within the Executive branch of the government. They have been citing Presidential Privilege but if mind reading became legal there would be multiple issues here.

This law would rid us of the last safe harbor, your own mind. At that point allowing some individuals the ability to skirt this law would create a class definition of ultimate scale. Those who are allowed to keep their own thoughts to themselves and those who aren't allowed to.
