Do you mean because we'd have a situation where officials would trump up
charges to enslave innocents, or are you arguing that someone guilty of
a crime with a victim (who has forfeited his rights because he would not
acknowledge that others have rights too) should not be forced to make up
for it.
If the former, totally agree, careful safeguards against that would be
needed. Here's one (that we don't have now): Make elected officials
personally liable for malfeasance instead of hiding behind the official
actions shield.
If the latter, totally disagree, you're wrong. Reason out why I say
that, starting from first principles and you might well convince
yourself you're wrong too.
