Let the greatest cause of crime be the law. The conveyance of ones person or goods from one location to another; exotic forms of carnality; the purveyance or enjoyment of intoxication through alcohol or other mind-altering substances; the creation and dissemination of opinion.

Thus will the law make cheats and liars of all men.
Sir Robert Peeel
