They absolutely have boundaries that a lawyer or prosecutor can use to make a case in a court of law. How do you think the law works? Interpretation of laws is a big part of how the common law system works.

If there are clear boundaries, there would be no need for interpretation. Interpretation is needed to resolve questions that arise because the boundaries are not clear.

You can't prosecute someone for murder just for insulting you. You can't prosecute someone for robbery if all they did was jaywalking. Media laws have clear boundaries sufficient for legal professionals to do their job. Building codes have clear boundaries sufficient for legal professionals to do their job.

Interpretation is exactly where the boundaries become fuzzy.
