The Goal of Strict Liability Laws Is Toprotect the Public

question 52

Essay

The goal of strict liability laws is toprotect the public by eliminating the possibility that wrongdoers could claim ignorance or mistake toabsolve themselves of criminal responsibility. Thus, a person driving 70 miles per hour in a 55 miles-per-hour zone cannot plead a lack of intent in his or her defense. As a state senator in ohio, it has been brought toyour attention that police officers in twosmall townships on a stretch of I-80 in your district near Youngstown, oH, have been targeting speeding vehicles with unmanned traffic cameras. In the particular areas in question, the speed limit decreases rapidly from 70 down to50 in under one tenth of mile, making it somewhat difficult todecrease one's speed that quickly without causing a possible accident with other vehicles, especially ones that are following closely behind. Since the ultimate goal of these strict liability traffic laws was togenerate extra revenue for these townships, hundreds of people have been issued tickets in one 30-day period. As a state senator from this district, the issue of these "unfair" enforcement violations through the use of "unmanned" traffic cameras has been brought toyour attention.
