Anecdote: the other day I was walking back home from dropping my daughter off at daycare, through a nice residential neighborhood. I see a guy sitting on the sidewalk with a cop standing over him. I gingerly pass them, and about 20 feet away I pass three old people discussing the situation. I can't make out what they're saying, but I hear the phrase "sexual predator" several times.

So I'm not convinced that this isn't the law generation process working exactly as intended. We keep appealing to the Bill of Rights because we just don't like the outcomes democracy gives us.
