I prefer execution because how in the hell are you going to enforce this?

Hurting children is the most despicable and unforgivable crime there is.

Hurray for Canada!

Canada has no death penalty.

But in hurting an innocent child, there should be.

As a second best solution to the problem of child abusers, there should be NO protective custody for them, but let them integrate in to the general prison population, preferably no more than an hour.

It will be impossible to enforce. Burner phones have internet and there are so many ways around this that the law is just worthless... I just say hang sex offenders and be done with it or the least cut their junk off...

Putting them in GP would solve so much because if anyone knows about the system knows rapists and those that hurt children and the elderly are dead the moment they enter GP.

An uninforceable law?
Why does that sound so familiar?
There are hundreds of such laws on the books, ranging from bizarre laws that were never intended to be enforced, to holdovers from an earlier time that are no longer legal or ethical to enforce. There are entire websites dedicated to both extremes.

It is important to note that while most unenforceable laws (such as prohibitions against fake moustaches in Alabama) will simply sit--unnoticed and ignored--on the law books, many unenforceable laws can be used as a blank check for police to bully seemingly law-abiding citizens. The most famous example was Lawrence v. Texas (2003) where police investigating a fraudulent domestic violence report stumbled upon two adult gay men in the act of sex. Embarrassed, they arrested and charged them with sodomy, which was common but technically illegal at that time. The case went to the Supreme Court, which declared all sodomy laws to be a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. The case has recently brought attention to dozen of other laws across the country that were used by (usually fundamentalist) police or other officials to push around people that they are morally at odds with. Most notably, it is currently illegal in Florida, Mississippi, and Michigan to cohabitate with anyone except your lawful spouse.
