The last thing we need are more laws; especially when you look at the present ruling class - why would you want to give them the general authority to punish lying:
“Citizen, we hear you’ve been lying about the settled science of global warming; we need you to come down to the station and answer a few questions.”
Suppose a corrupt cop in a small town with one intersection lets his buddies and the city fathers run the one stop light with impunity, but if he doesn't like you, or God forbid, you show up with out of state plates, you're going to get a ticket even if you came to a complete stop.
That does nothing to support the contention that stop lights at intersections are a bad idea. Even the most just, righteous laws can be poorly or abusively enforced. That doesn't mean we need to, or should, do away with them, just the corrupt enforcers.
