When writing an idea for a law, you can't leave anything to chance, you can't leave other people's interpretation of it to chance.
Something that is poorly defined is a toy for a lawyer.
And the judge can't make the law by holding A defendant to the judge's own standards for the interpretation of a law with low quality wording, because that would set a slippery slope toward the Government having a culture that a single person could possibly have, and act as an individual instead.
There is a reason why laws are not written like personal letters, notes and memos, but rather like lists or catalogs and contracts and with examples that lead the reader toward a definition.
Because laws are complicated and it takes less time to write it that way, and its easier to comprehend.
Lawyers get paid to get defendants off the hook not to say You're right Your Honor, My client is guilty, you got me.
The lawyer is going say stupid shit like "I don't know what that means" even if he does full well knows what something means.. to know what things mean isn't his job.
His job is to make you do the work.
You have to defeat his lawyer and beat the lawyer to the punch with a good legal writing form.
