Old John:

I would be happy if this line was extended to the removal of all speed enforcement, drink drive enforcement, red light enforcement, basically only a consequence based punishment system rather than a perceived risk system that we have.I take it that you consider that revenge for the consequences of a wrong is preferable to having tried to prevent the wrong ever taking place?
If I were to be maimed or killed by a drunk/speeding/ signal jumping/ (take your pick) driver, it would be scant comfort to know that the perpetrator would receive a heavy, but finite punishment, as i would be maimed, or dead, forever.
Or, am I misunderstanding your position?
I would just like an ideal world where everyone took responsibility for their actions so that no harm came to anybody else. But we didn’t have to follow the silly rules that other people thought were appropriate for us.
