• Hmm yes, just like how the state kills anyone who sells alcohol or cigarettes to a minor.

    (don't interpret this as me saying that a legal requirement to wear a helmet is a good idea)

    They haven't got around to killing anybody for that lately, AFAIK. It's not that they kill everybody who resists, or even many, just that at the margin they have to be prepared to, and are permitted to, do so for any law. It's always worth remembering this whenever you think a new law is needed.

  • Not in the UK. You just lock the person up or fine them. no one has been executed in the UK in over 50 years and we've had many laws in that time so I'm not really sure what your point is.
