Boyfriend “borrows” the old-but-working car of his abused girlfriend who’s barely making it paycheck to paycheck, drives 110kph, her car gets seized and she now has no hope of escape.
An extreme comparison? Yes. But it illustrates that nice simple one-size-fits-all laws often have abhorrent results.
@TDCN I envy you for having reason to believe that’s how things actually work most of the time. Here in the United Empire of Profit not nearly so many people believe that any more, because (as with “if you’re innocent and can’t afford a lawyer you’ll get equal justice from a public defender”) there are so many counter-examples to demonstrate that’s not how things actually work in practice.
