Yes, I agree.

But I can not see how the legal framework could be better. Insults are illegal. Prosecution needs to look into all reported cases.

The problem with “insult is illegal” is that is hard to define insult. I beg to differ, that is a good system. The full explanation is here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oS9Ey3C_E-U&pp=ygUgQXRraW5zIG9...

> Prosecution needs to look into all reported cases.

The ramifications of that sentence in terms of cost, effort and possibly other nuances, makes me shiver.

Note how a minimal misbehavior of a relatively small portion of the population could render any police and judicial system totally inoperative. Just 2000 people across the country go doing light insults to random people… again, I can think of much better systems.

  • Please tell me more about that much better system.

    And probably also tell it to some lawmakers. But start with me.
