As I said in the OP that it they have known about this but nothing changed and that is stupid.
Yes and I think it lists specifically what it entails. I don’t know that it was some sort of write around though. They may not have even considered this depending how old the law is. I think it’s a matter of they simply never enacted a law based on this specific occurrence and so prosecutors relied on this law. (Any or all of this could be wrong. I’m surmising based on the article. )
