My judge friend tole me that we have a similar thing in Slovakia, a catch all law that says that if you are doing something that’s illegal but try to argue around it by using the specific wording of the law it’s still illegal, basically you can’t do the, “show me a law that says dogs cant play basketball” thing, basically it’s illegal to trying to be a smartass and circumvent the law based on arguing semantics
Not like that, it’s for trying to get around specific wording. and in my country you actually have to be a competent judge, you go through a rigorous process and there are no 12 idiots to make the decisions.
Basically if it’s reasonably clear that you are trying to break the law but trying to weasel around it.

In effect, “the law doesn’t make illegal what it says is illegal. The law makes illegal whatever I want it to say.”
What could go wrong.
