Intent Required for Crime
CYA is so pervasive at Universities that a student has a better understanding of events than university administrators. (Anna Badkhen, "Student causes scare at Logan with shirt 'art,'" Boston Globe, September 22, 2007) The MIT spokesman called the wearing of a circuit board reckless. A student noted it was due to lack of common sense. Criminal intent is necessary for criminal liability. The MIT student had none. Having no street sense is not a crime. In this day of government paranoia it is no wonder we have the highest incarceration rate in the world. Have the terrorists won? They diminished our freedoms knowing the mentality of the government leaders who lack self knowledge. The President of Iran knows the politics of America better than most Americans.
