There really is no phrase I can imagine wanting to see less in a law than "Is likely to". It's the ultimate in weasel words. You don't have to justify _anything_ once that phrase is in there.

Did someone break a law? No, but it doesn't matter tho, we thought they WERE LIKELY TO so we can act as if they did.

Horrible, horrible, dangerous wording.
