This is a perfect example of a supposedly "Benign" law that could be easily used to trump up Felonies and lock up anyone who doesnt agree with your political or social Ideal.
Ok maybe this administration wont use it for that, and maybe the next wont either but the law will be there in place just waiting for someone to abuse it.
Just look at the rediculas laws still in effect in the U.S. from the 1800's. Once a law is in place it will never go away.
