We implement laws all the time for the common good; for an example, its against the law to run a red light, or to jaywalk. I think jaywalking is often safer at least on divided roads. You only have to worry about traffic coming one way until you get to the middle and then the other way after it. You don't have to worry as much about people running red lights because you are not depending on the red light. As for the other laws they could fit under maintain public order and protecting lives. BTW - Even in cases of protecting lives I think we go to far. IMO there should be no law requiring adults to wear seat belts. I wear one every time but if I decided not to that should be my own business. I would be risking my own life but it is my life not the property of the government. Tim
