There is most definitely a section of society which is held in check by laws, and their outcome.

Those that do not fit the above, having no impulse control, or perhaps mental issues, then laws result in stuffing them away.

It's not perfect. Yet every human society does this, and has done this for millenia. Consider that.

Don’t you think it’s disingenuous to reduce “law breakers” to those people?

Two categories, with no statement that this was all categories. And, one of the two categories are not law breakers at all, merely held in check by fear of laws.

Note I was responding to someone who effectly said laws don't prevent crime, and citing ways they do. Understand the context. My statement was not a 200 page dissertation on "those who might break laws" and a deep dive into societal ethics, etc.

This story is about a dude who drove 30–40 hours to kill somebody and still had a quarter ounce of meth left in his Jeep when he got caught. He should serve some time.
