Strict liability is lazy regulation.
Look at an example from communications regulation where that regulator, the ACMA, has adopted 'strict liability'.
When a masthead TV amplifier goes faulty it radiates a broad signal over the adjacent mobile phone bands.
So, a 92 year old wheelchair bound lady has one that does this.
She is guilty, and subject to X penalty units despite not even knowing it was there.
Stupid, lazy, destructive......
You can thank an appropriately named ex CASA lawyer P Illyck for that peice of junk regulation.
