Legal Usage of Incite in English

An European Commission document offers the following explanation about the misused of Incite:To incite means to ‘encourage or stir up (violent or unlawful behaviour)’ or to ‘urge or persuade (someone) to act in a violent or unlawful way’. You cannot therefore, except in some Alice-in-wonderland parallel universe, incite someone to buy a car, use organic farming techniques or comply with a regulation.

Example
