Here is an example: in Texas, unauthorized use of a vehicle, which would include driving a car that you can't prove is yours, can be punishable by two years in jail. [1] From what I understand getting caught driving without a license the first time is generally a misdemeanor, but for repeated offence in for example CA can land you in jail.

Running a whole operation around driving without a license is what tornado cash is more similar to, not accidentally forgetting your license once, which is what the misdemeanor is for.

You can actually operate and drive a car on private property without a license in Texas. In fact in Texas you can even drive a car drunk if it's on private property not open to the public, like a fenced off private parking lot.

Using your analogy, an instance of TC on private property would not be licensed.

Tornado cash would not be sanctioned if it were not public and therefore not used by North Korea, yes. What is your point here?

[notch656a]

Then using your analogy it should not be sanctioned. There is nothing illegal about a North Korean coming to your property and driving a car without a license. Your logic that _because North Korean, therefore public property_ is nonsensical.

And as an aside:

>Driving a car requires a license and registration of the vehicle.

Patently false.
