Back to my answer. We do not write laws based on the individual.
Why must I drive 55mph on the highway? I'm capable of safely driving 70mph, the road was built for 70mph (before they reduced the limit to save gas), there's no traffic ... well?
Since it is individuals who break laws, then laws are written in an attempt to control individual behaviour. So, again, who is the victim in my, or anyone else possessing a lottery ticket in NC?
