It's the same for hacking too. US regularly has to bend laws to prosecute hackers, whereas UK's Serious Crime Act of 2009 explicitly makes basically everything illegal even common security research practices.

Well, they're making new stretches in your case. So you can take some pride that they're having to do EXTRA backflips.
