Sometimes the issues are so obvious that you should just act.
When it comes to criminal law you can’t afford to ‘just act’. If you do that you risk criminalising innocent people or else failing to criminalise those it was intended to catch.

Any legislation that could result in jailing someone must be properly drafted and reviewed. Appealing to emotion in order to short-cut that process doesn’t help anyone, least of all the victims of the activity in question.
