Not driving through a red light is to a large extent cooperation, something people would do (once a convention to do so is established) without compulsion or threat of punishment.

That is just not true!

<<The part of the response to not go through red lights that is forced, that exists only because of the threat of punishment is not cooperation. That's not to say it isn't a good thing, merely that you can't use it as an example of you supporting more cooperation since it isn't cooperation (and since your not debating an opponent of red light laws). And you can't use it as an example of thinking for yourself.

It is what a society has the right and need to do.
