Not a perfect fix, but shielding art from misuse in court is a step toward fairness. Intent matters, and this bill tries to get that right.

Balancing free expression and justice is tricky—this law tries to keep artistic creativity off the stand unless it truly matters.

Now we’ve got a bill protecting every graffiti tag like it’s a First Amendment holy grail—law and order takes a backseat.

Protecting artists from unfair evidence? About time we put imagination back where it belongs: far from the courtroom drama.
