But I believe that it is a general rule that without intention there is no crime.

Again, we're playing mind games here, so that gives (me) the excuse to nit-pick. I
thought (i.e. might be quite wrong) that intention doesn't alter whether an act is a crime, but counts as circumstances to be used by a court in deciding the gravity of the offence, or by the authorities in deciding whether to take action. No doubt the lawyers here will put me right. But it comes to the same thing as you say in practice.
