With no laws, the definition of crime becomes unexistant. With no laws, there's no crime.

Actually crime rates would go up. You see if it wasn't against the law then local cops wouldn't ba able to draw revenue from it via fines. So therefore local governments would have to excuse some of the cops from duty. And I think we all know why cops are cops... it ain't the nobility factor. They'd get theirs another way. And since they are well trained as criminals that's where a lot of them would land... right smack on the other side of the law.

Well, of course. If nothing was against the law, then there would be no crime, by definition. However, me must have some laws. I do agree that we create a lot of "criminals" with some of the laws which we have in place.

Obviously, cos no crime would have been comitted in the eyes of the law,however the world is full of judgemental critical cynics

If laws were abolished then by definition crime would fall, however people would still continue to display the antisocial behaviour and their victims would still be aggrieved. Thus making it essential to make new laws!

It would if it was about cannabis.
In the past i have met people who get it from their fathers who are policemen. It's the haul they get from confiscating it from others.
It's the law which makes it dangerous when it makes people turn to crime to get what they want.
It's law which makes war.
It's the law which takes it's own gods place in killing.
It's the law which cause the above in pompous self-given superiority.
Change the law. Not the man who seeks peace..

I suppose it depends on what's not against the law anymore...
