RE: Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Rules and Laws)

A fine for each incident of running of a red light is an interesting though, but I don't think any of us really want to live in a society where each and every infraction is awarded to us in a penalty... The level of big-brother aspects of society would be extremely unpleasant for everyone regardless of how many laws someone breaks...

See the conversation I was having with @dollarsandsense regarding helmets, I thought his perspective was quite interesting.

There's also a difference between a broken law and a consequence.
You do realize that in many places homosexual relations are still on-the-books as crimes. Victimless crime. I can come up with other examples if I work at it. Bicycles, btw, have the same debate as for motorcycles... same potential for injury, just a different scale, but a bad bicycle injury will cost too. Unfortunately, you can't place stupidity on a criminal record. (And we shouldn't "go there.")
