Answer 1

It isn't exactly ethical, no.

Sadly, there are many laws that are legal and yet not ethical since not every law can take into account every possible situation.

This is not to say it's right... just that it's the law. Fortunately there are some judges who work with the intent of the law rather than the letter of it.
