I mildly disagree with the grandmother test case. I think we will be better
served if that case is the street thug, for the very simple reason that if
the law applies to him, then by extension it applies to the other vast
majority of folks, like the grandmother, who never live outside of, or on
the edge of, the law.
The grandmother case, in contrast, would still leave the street thug, and
all others in between, in some sort of grey zone requiring still more test
cases.
To put it simply, get the worst case to form the basis that leaves the rest
of us alone and in the clear.
Anyhow, that is my simple view of how things should work.
Kind Regards,
Tom
