Any and all holes that would allow this to happen needs to be closed so this does not happen. If there is more to the propsed law it needs to be revealed. Lawmakers rarely ever think like a criminal when they write laws and seem to be surprised when a smart criminal, lawyer or a judge let criminals go on technicalities. It’s good to protect the innocent and I am all for that, but don’t include a way of allowing a loophole that would let criminals go too.
