      If I walk through a doorway and let it slam in the face of the person behind me, am I breaking that law?

        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.
