What are you opinions on statuatory rape? Do you think it's a fair law? You are considered a rapist if you are 18 or older, and you have sex with someone under 18. Even if it's your girlfriend or boyfriend, and it was consensual.

You misunderstand the point.
Law is supposed to use coercion to prevent coercion --> this is called defense, and is perfectly fine. But "victimless crime laws" use coercion to prevent non-coercion --> this is no different from coercion in the first place (AKA crime). The point is that, "crimes" are really using coercion and fraud -- in other words, hurting someone. "Victimless crimes" hurt no one and/or are consensual -- therefore they are not really crimes. By trying to enforce laws against them, the laws themselves become criminal, because they are the things that are causing harm. |
