Morality of Justice [Preamble]

It is not appropriate that law should be enacted without an underlying ethical basis or moral justification. There is a serious risk that any such law, even when valid, would almost invariably amount to tyranny and oppression by the state. An offence should amount to a crime only if and when the property and/or well-being of another is either compromised or put in jeopardy.
