That's teamwork!
So, are you saying that there really isn't any way to deter people since they aren't even deterred by a very painful/expensive/life-changing punishment? If so, we really don't need laws, just some guidelines and suggestions for the good, responsible folks.
Or are you saying that having a law and a light penalty like a fine is more of a deterrent for doing something wrong than a severe penalty? That's an odd take on things.
Neither one of those make sense so let me re-frame the picture:
Stupid, irresponsible people are going to do stupid things and cause problems, pretty much no matter what. But if you make the penalties harsh enough for them it is likely to be a great deterrent for the rest of society that is much more 'normal' on the responsibility spectrum. Much moreso than having a ton of restrictive laws that only serve to cause responsible people problems but don't actually deter the egregious ones. Do we make everyone pay a little because a few people can't be good? Not my preference.
Oh, OK... LOL!
You don't understand, it's not unsafe if you pay the state.
Permits make it safe.

Thread title is "Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong". I don't see anything about 'carrying' . :shocked:
Gotta be a set up though. There must be some rolling gear under there some where.
In some states like Texas, they still have the death penalty for heinous crimes. I'd say that's about as severe a penalty there is for a crime, yet murders still happen there daily. I think the point is more, if you are more likely to get caught then maybe you'd be less likely to try something.So, are you saying that there really isn't any way to deter people since they aren't even deterred by a very painful/expensive/life-changing punishment?
