Maybe not.
Let us move the discussion of reasonableness of law to something closeer to our hearts, say chaining a bike up.
All Daily Mail readers know what odious and inconsiderate people cyclists are, so there should be a law that bikes cannot be chained up where they are a "hazard" or a "danger" to innocent, law abiding pedestrians.
Now that the law is on the statute books, where can we chain our bikes, and be sure to be lawful? What if some irate pensioner pushes the bike over, and the next passer by cuts their leg?
Not as emotive as, say, Starbucks management charges, but I am not so sure we, as a community, would be happy with such "common sense" approaches to an ever present danger on our streets.
