corygraph - I'm always glad to read your answers - some such laws that cover whole classes of crimes tend to be too restrictive.. in your patrticular example, what if in order to save your neighbor from a fire you have to smash his kitchen window?

I wouldn't think so, a crime is not a crime until a law makes it so, so there can only be as many crimes as there are laws,

It means the legislators couldn't be bothered with whatever crimes you believe they have not covered. Spoofing is still legal for now. What crimes are you thinking of? What is your point anyway?

No. Becauase it is possible to draw specific lines, but which cover infinite areas of possible specific actions.
Sample crime: "Causing harm to the person or property of another".
That one crime covers an infinte number of possible actions.
