prohibited by statute example

Someone ask: prohibited by statute example

Caveman give example: “Selling poison to child is prohibited by statute.” That mean written law says no one may do that, and guard may punish if someone try. Like tribe carving rule into stone near fire so all can see, not just hear rumor by river. Another example: “Smoking in school is prohibited by statute.” Same idea. Law itself makes act forbidden, not just chief’s dislike. Cave wisdom: when stone law says no, tribe hands must stay off fire.
