What will this person have stolen?  To whom will it belong?  Someone will have to claim to be the victim.<p>I guess still, we&#x27;re talking past each other.<p>We need to repeal laws against every one of those offenses except assault and theft (which will require a victim to come forward, again returning to my initial question).<p>My assertion (and one that I think it quite clearly backed up by the evidence in history on the matter) is that these victimless crimes are <i>created precisely</i> to target (typically racial) groups.<p>I don&#x27;t view the unethical law and the racist enforcement as two different things, but as parts of the same motion.
