I guess I just got confused when you said above: "Some laws are enforced through involuntary compliance; others are enforced through voluntary compliance." I guess you didn't mean what you said.
I agree that there's abuse of the system, and I agree that people ought to follow the rules. I'm just not sure that your prescription isn't worse than the original problem.
Nor am I. See? We agree on something!
