This is terrible logic. Why is this on HN? 1) Speeding is not a crime. 2) The 112,000 or so tickets given each day add up to over 41 million tickets per year

This is terrible logic. Why is this on HN?
1) Speeding is not a crime.
2) The 112,000 or so tickets given each day add up to over 41 million tickets per year – that’s 19.5% of the populous! -- NO it's NOT! He's totally disregarding the fact that some people are repeat offenders.
3) Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's right. Any argument that relies on normal distributions to determine what should be illegal should be considered flawed from the outset.
