I cant help it if you are to thick to understand how the law works Greg.

Yes, the law proscribes some particular activitys.
Those activitys are illegal regardless of whether
anyone actually chooses to break that law or not.

BUT when deciding if a particular activity of a particular person is
illegal activity or not, particularly when considering whether to say
charge them or not, or say tell them to stop doing that or they will get
charged, its their actual action, whether they have actually broken the
particular law which counts. Not that they could if they wanted to.

Maybe you should think about the road rules for a simple example that
even you might be able to grasp. The law proscribes a particular speed
being exceeded in a particular situation. Clearly just because you car
can do that if you put your foot down doesnt make it illegal.
