If that worked, no one would ever get sued for "negligence".

Is this a legal opinion?  Because this does not concur with my observation.

It isn't a matter of "enforcing a law on other parties"...it is preventing

your neighbor from growing pot on his lawn, but you sure need to stop him
from doing it on yours.
