Who said the following "If a law causes more harm than that which it was created to protect us against, the law is wrong". I have tried finding it on the internet, no luck. Help, please.

perhaps
if its Ben Franklin, i would guess from his "Way to Wealth" or his letters pertaining to "Poor Laws"
however it is also a general stipulation of Tort Law and usable as a defense, although rarely won ...
No one said that. However, Jimmy Carter said:
"Penalties against a drug should not be more dangerous to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana."
That is the most closely related quote.
