It's incredible that "safeguarding public security" is unqualified, there should be a law that specifies exactly how such things are evaluated or it should be forbidden to put such loopholes in law.

My respect for law as a field of study is starting to be around the same as my respect for finance as a legitimate business.

The people who actually study how to write law are mathematicians (including to various extent the applied mathematicians, which range from programmers through engineers and all the way to the probability theorists a.k.a. "scientists").

One day I hope we can clear up the misunderstanding in our society about the extent of our reliance on mathematics and stop acting as if "we cannot engineer solutions to social problems" - these glorified scammers that write the law and run the economy are the cancer that is killing everything.
