Now, a law that doesn't affect you because you are a safe driver was passed. And you are OK with this law because it is already criminal and you don't break the law ever. This new law states that if you are found guilty of vehicular homicide you will get the death penalty. Well, it just so happens that you are found to be the guilty party in the accident which kills an entire family. You are sentenced the death penalty. Your sentence is OK because you shouldn't have broken the law and when you break the law you pay the price. Whether it's the death penalty or $200. Right?
Thank you for making it more clear, but in this instance, I believe that an investigation into the accident will prove that I wouldn't not be the guilty party. That's kind of stretching it a bit. But I see what you're getting at. That could be said for my burglary suspect. What if I'm the one that gets found guilty and I had nothing to do with it? My example wasn't very good, but it was a much better example the ones given by MY MAN LANKHOSS (lolol). I guess I can look the criminal act of speeding as a "cut and dry" case. You either are or you aren't. This is an act observed by police. So there is no mistaken identity. Later, QD.
