It is also possible to commit future crimes or regulation violations. The laws and regulations should be required to give the date they become effective. It would be nice if they also had an expiration date so the legislators and regulators are force to review them from time to time. We have 1,620 statutes in our state criminal code and the number of statutes with charges in a year is much smaller. We book about 270 statutes a year at our jail in a year and they are the same ones from year-to-year. My view is if there are no charges in five year interval the statute should be repealed. Very good thank you.
