Good idea. In a totalitarian regime there are enough (murky) laws (say in a Department of Homeland Security...just sayin’) to make everyone a criminal. It’s just a matter of selective persecution to get rid of the perceived undesireable threats to the totalitarians. I’m thinking of Kafka’s Joseph K in “The Trial”.
Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians.
Alter or abolish it.
Indeed.
