Actus reus is the Latin term for the "guilty act", often known as the exterior element or the objective element of a crime.
The phrase "an act does not make a person guilty unless (their) mind is also guilty" is the basis for the terms "actus reus" and "mens rea," which were developed in English law. As a result, the general standard for determining guilt calls for evidence of fault, culpability, or blameworthiness in the conjugation of thought (mens rea) and action (actus reus).
There must have been an act or actions for an actus reus to have been committed. In general, an action or act is a "bodily movement whether voluntary or involuntary," according to several common law definitions.The U.S. Supreme Court found that a California statute that made it illegal to consume drugs was unconstitutional since simply having a drug problem did not constitute an act, making it not a crime.
