I get your take and agree with the sentiment BUT I don't think this somehow requires "automatic punishment". Also, if the laws are there then I tend to think they should be enforced. Maybe this kind of thing will empower places to drop some of the laws most folks agree are "slightest infractions".
This sounds reasonable but I think it's a bit optimistic
I don't think "increased government ability to enforce rules and collect fines" is likely to lead to less rules
I would love to be proven wrong
I agree with you on every thing you wrote here
