Yes, and if you had paid attention to my post you would have realized that I said catch them, but use better tools.

Oh, I paid attention; it’s just that the “better” tools out there still condone the behavior in the end. The only tool is each and every individual at the end of the day. I know you are trying to find away to mitigate the risk to ones self, but it still has the effect of condoning the behavior since it removes the individual as an influence at least in part or in whole depending on the tool. Freedom is not free nor are we free from everyday risks despite all the ways we try to prevent it. We have taken risk mitigation to levels that inhibit common sense whether by legal means or what is taught. We have yet to learn where one must stop and individual responsibility begins, and in essence we are trying to pursue utopia over reality. This is never good for society as it leads to an inevitable breakdown.
