When can turn this topic into an all day debate but the truth to the matter is when you break laws, there are consequences to be paid.

Its fact actually
Towns in the west could not survive on the taxes alone, they began to fine people, when cowboys & miners came into town, and raised hell they would lock them up, but if they were locked up they were not spending money, if they fined them to much, they would not come back, thus a medium fine was imposed and cities who's governments would have crumbled stayed afloat.
Fast forward to this century and little has changed, yes some laws are for supposed safety but as Issaac stated generally its just a knee jerk reaction.
We are good at that in this country, with more laws than any other country on earth that is readily apparent. We also dominate by far on the traffic laws end of things where if you travel to other countries you will find that not only are traffic laws almost non existant but police have better things to do than to write a ticket for a traffic accident, which btw is just a way for the government to pay for that little visit to your scene. You also in a free society cannot create laws on the assumption that people will indeed hurt someone else, in other words you cannot ticket someone for doing a wheelie becouse he (may wreck) when in fact he more than likely will not wreck, and if he does he more than likely will not hurt anyone but himself.
R you starting to get it now?
Trust me, we are wayyy overboard on what we can or cannot do in this society, if people jsut shut the fuck up and worried about there own screwed up lives instead of trying to control someone elses, we would be alot better off, but hte fact is people cannot even control their own life, so those people are most often the ones to point fingers and try to control someone elses.
I say
to all the scared little bitches who are afraid to do anything that may get them a boo boo when in the end none of us get out of this alive.
