"It rarely gets charged, unless it's the only thing that the prosecutor can make stick."

If the only way a prosecutor can get someone is to make use of a BS, completely unconstitutional law, then he doesn't deserve to get the guy in the first place. Using false charges to cover up for the failure to make real ones stick is precisely the sort of BS done in China, North Korea, and every other country that stinks. We're better than that, and we should act like it. :-)

Since when did China ever worry about "the rule of law?"
