Second Criminal Code Amendment (December 2019)

Proposed By:
Zapatian Workers State​
Preamble

This amendment of the Criminal Code Act (September 2018) criminalizes sedition against the government and military of Lazarus and retroactively renumbers Section 12 as Section 13 and Section 13 as Section 14.

Section 1. Amendment of Section 12

(1) Section 12 shall be amended to read:

Sounds like I could charge anyone with sedition.

I laid out quite clearly what should constitute sedition, which is erosion of the public confidence in the government and military as institutions, as opposed to specific individuals within them, and gratuitous verbal abuse of standing officials that falls outside of constructive criticism.
 
Erosion of public confidence isn't very clear. It is an open ended phrase. We should be able to criticize our institutions and the people in them.

It's not that ambiguous. What it means is that criticism of an official (if done respectfully) is permissible, but just going out and saying, "Lazarus sucks eggs," to be a jerk is not. if Lazarus were at war, we can't have people going and speaking out in favor of the enemy, even if they haven't hampered the military's efforts to cross the line into full treason.

Part of the reason I drafted this, for context, is because is have experience with negativistic trolls who criticize endlessly with no point. It... is not pleasant.
 
It is very ambiguous. The military suck eggs. There isn't a lot of us, and we could be better. That statement would get me into court even if its true. There are better ways to deal with trolls than shutting everyone up who could be one.

I see your point. Forget I ever proposed this.
 
Disregard this entire thread. This is a terrible idea. I don't know what I was thinking.
