My comment was broader than the stop issue. What good comes from making penalties harsher? Do people obey b/c of it? Id say not and in the end wind up a slave for no reason. Drunk driving law is very strict but people keep doing it and the law still wasn’t able to save. The only ones who make out in the deal are the state and lawyers. So, while all you said was true how are stricter penalties going to solve the problem?
I know many people who don’t drink and drive solely because of the stiff penalties...they really don’t believe they are a risk, but they refuse to lose their licenses and pay the huge fines and/or go to jail.
I believe you have brought up a good analogy...because the stiff laws DO reduce the risks.
