Sure. We can break into each other's houses. It's illegal but "that's a problem to be resolved by [our] legal counsel and often not even a fatal problem".

Why do you think there is a distinction between civil and criminal law?

  • Certainly not because one is important and the other isn't. It's because one is prosecution by the state, and the other isn't, so they have different burdens and different repercussions.
