Perhaps the scrutiny was warranted, if this happens.
The point of law is not to enforce it. It's to maintain peace and fairness.
When that does not happen, then the law no longer matters. I won't tolerate you playing a game of legal loopholes. What matters is justice.
Or does this law matter to you? It doesn't to me. I don't think law is anything other than the abstraction of justice, codified, and that code can always be broken if need be.
And I think it needs to be broken, if indeed it is illegal. However, we must question: Is it actually illegal? The courts will decide if it comes to that.
