You could say the same thing about human, but that still works.
Here’s the thing. It demonstrably doesn’t work because we don’t do any of the things you listed. That’s why parking tickets only work on poor people and rich people view them as just the fee to park where ever they want.
Which is exactly what I was alluding to but you seem to want to take it as if I have no earthly idea how to make it better when the point wasn’t about fining them. The point is there’s a better way and it starts with gathering data to use to basically revoke their license to operate their business and their taxis in the state. Because that’s a better outcome altogether than a stupid fine. The money from the fine might enrich the state but it won’t bring back someone’s kid.
I’m not saying they shouldn’t be cited. I’m not saying they shouldn’t face repercussions. I’m not saying they aren’t dangerous or that I think they should be allowed to do whatever they want with no consequences.
I’m saying there’s a difference between what was happening vs what is happening now and I’m acknowledging that this difference isn’t enough but it’s not nothing.
