A friend of mine, who is a lawyer, explained to me that Italian law holds itself to be complete and applicable to any circumstance faultlessly, at any given point in time. He agreed that this is logically absurd on its face, since Italian law is amended all the time, same as in every other country. I thanked him profusely for freeing me from bothering to follow it.

I obey American law because I gave my word that I would, upon entering the country as an adult. I do not obey Italian law because the Italian state never asked me to, and even managed to fail to to secure my consent despite me offering. Due to the the aforementioned bit of utter idiocy, I consider Italian law impossible to follow, so why bother trying?

If code is law, law is code, and this one is one of those things that keeps dumping a stack trace at you and clogging the logs (also, I hate debugging Android apps).
