>> How about people that leave cars on the street or in parking lots?
Great analogy. Car in the driveway, key in the ignition, door unlocked.
Car gets stolen. Repeat.
>> Cars KILL.
Suppose teens go joyriding and someone gets hurt.
The owner of the car was negligent and may get charged.
Wouldn't strike me as outrageous.
It's a complicated world out there.
Grownups deal with it.
I didn't say arrest & punish for what you *might* think. No idea where that came from.
I said said I support holding people accountable for, among other similar things, reckless behavior and gross negligence as long as it's codified ... which this is.
If you don't like the current laws on the books, I suggest that you contact your lawmakers.
Owner is not negligent. Kids should not be on the loose if they are irresponsible enough to steal a car. It's not my fault that someone didn't raise their kids right.
Lawmakers are generally incompetent when it comes to writing laws. An awful lot of them are mainly concerned with saying what they think will get them re-elected.
