Not quite. Laws are OK as long as they're not stupid.
Agreed.
But, er, the law against burglarly most certainly isn't stupid ! It's a crime with victims for a start.
He thinks the burglarly laws are just as stupid as I think some of the traffic laws are ? I'm not sure that's a reasonable assumption to make ! Even Burglars know it's wrong, surely !
I see every problem with it, and I'll certainly phone the police. That's exactly my point - if I saw someone speeding, I'd see no problem with it and wouldn't phone the police.
