I can’t recall where I read the statistic (might have been here in an article), but it basically amounted to “you will have at least one run in with law enforcement over the course of your life”. When we have tons of laws on the books that in essence penalize you for what “could have” happened, not actually what DID happen, it is safe to say most of our laws are for nothing more than fleecing the citizenry.
One encounter sounds awfully low...
