[QUOTE="Bigdawg90, post: 3966467, member: 49831"] This has nothing to do with generational differences. The whole safe space generation stuff just distracts from poor arguments. Why does the government enforce my interest in my own safety? Seat belt laws are ridiculous. It’s the state charging you a fine to make sure you protect yourself. It’s asinine. Same thing applies to motorcycle helmet laws. The only law that should apply is for parents to buckle up their children. If you don’t register your vehicle properly and on time, you already get fined at the DMV when you attempt to register. You just get an additional fine from the state from a ticket. That’s ridiculous. The amount of people willing to use generalized concepts of punishments astounds me. “I’ll let the cops stop people and that will make me feel safer.” “If I give the cops more reasons to stop people they can stop more criminals. It’ll never lead to violations of civil rights.” Criminals don’t care about punishments. That’s why they’re criminals. An additional ticket won’t do anything. They’ll just throw it away. When they get a suspended license they’ll just keep driving. When they go to jail for that, they’ll just get out and drive again. I don’t want government intrusion into my life. Leave me alone. That’s not woke/BLM stuff. That’s me saying I’ll take care of myself you take care of yourself. Stop getting the government involved. I’ll call the cops after I’ve shot an intruder. I don’t need a cop right by my house to “stop the bad guys.” Cops should focus on things that actually cause public safety issues. Their ever expanding set of functions only lends itself to corruption. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Cops should have a defined function in our society and not deviate from it. Minor traffic violations do not serve a public safety function. They are administrative. [/QUOTE]
