It’s a cosmic “law” meaning there are repercussions for “breaking” it and it has nothing to do with a judge or cops or other fallible human representations of justice.
Quite simply, by “interfering” you get your karma entangled with theirs …for as long as it takes for you to “untangle” it.
And that usually takes a while… sometimes several lifetimes…
In addition, they usually subconsciously start resenting you as they can unconsciously sense you’ve fucked with their free will.
And WHEN, not if, they find out, then they go out of their way to NOT use the item you’ve given them
So yeah…
Or you know, you could offer it to them with honesty or let them decide if they want to use it or not.
