Each one of us is a detective and laws are harmful

We don't need to make bad behaviour illegal; when people do something wrong, harmful, others will object and take the actions in response (as a consequence) that solve the problem.

Laws are unnecessary and make life worse. The universe provides a very good disincentive against bad behaviour already, either harm to oneself or to others. Harming others may result in harm to oneself, if there is retaliation.

The universe mandates good behaviour, there is no need for the Government to do so.

The bad result of laws is that minor "crimes" are treated with punishment which is more severe than necessary. This results in escalation. Without (prescribed) laws there would be no such escalation. It is for this reason that laws are harmful.

We do not need laws, we would be better served by allowing the perpetrator of crimes to meet their justice in a "natural" way by the consequence of their actions. Good behaviour, or at least to desist from crime, is best for us individually, if we are exposed to the consequences when we (do) harm. We should not be shielded from the consequences of our crimes. Our neighbours will punish us sufficiently, for the good of mankind, without the Government getting involved.

Each one of us is a detective and a prosecutor...
