I understand the premise - but I do not see that example as practical.
Does anyone refrain from defending their life because they believe they will be arrested for defending their life? Is it even approaching common for someone to be arrested for defending their life?
I think not. So the legislation is attempting to address a non-problem, thereby advocating violence instead of avoidance.
