Everyone should be able to do whatever makes them happy, so long as what makes them happy does not unreasonably infringe upon the happiness of another.
Yes, you might, if you’re caught by an unreasonable cop. Its a very general law that relies on a fictional amount of “common sense” .
The 3 criminals that got hit with that justice system got away with kidnapping a person and underfeeding a trapped animal before they were finally caught red-handed stealing sausages and cake. They spent only a few days in a minimum security prison, got free soap and a haircut and food and support, before they were freed and given jobs after proving they had changed for the better.
Wish it was this easy in our world. But we are trying to be as close to it as is sensible.

Law of Cardamom (Norwegian: Kardemommeloven) is the only law in Cardamom Town. The law is simple and liberal:
One shall not bother others, one shall be nice and kind, otherwise one may do as one pleases.

Simple, but just makes sense to me.
If I walk through a doorway and let it slam in the face of the person behind me, am I breaking that law?

An it harm none, do what thou wilt.
Just an archaic way of saying the same thing. I like it though, cause it reminds me we’re not supposed to harm ourselves, either…
I like it! I guess I could have also simply said “live and let live.”
