Question

Is sexting an overreach? Are there other behaviors that should be considered an overreach of the criminal law?

Answer 1

Sexting which involves sending sexually explicit photographs or messages through a mobile phone to someone is overreaching as this involves trying to do more than the ability and committing pornography. Other behaviors that should be considered an overreach of the criminal law includes minor offenses that the justice system is overburdened with such as public drunkenness, leaving fewer resources for the more serious crimes such as sexual assault, murder etc.
