I think in a democracy there should be some group of state attorneys who are not just allowed, but mandated to prosecute the law to the fullest extent possible.

For example, if Congress has a law making ToU violations crimes, then there should be a select few DAs who are required to go out and prosecute people who enable AdBlock and visit a certain site. And it should always start with legislators if possible. See how fast stupid laws go away.




It should be only for legislators. Turn the tables and make them live in fear of what they do to other people
