your argument seems upside down to me. go back to the fifties and sixties and there were
plenty of "enforcers" Police, traffic wardens, railway and bus ticket inspectors, park keepers car park attendants etc who job was ot enforce rules and enforce them they did. You could get a fine for cylcing without lights, parking at a road junction and a hundred monor offences that are no longer enforced and are deemed insignificant.
It is the lack of enforecement in the modern world that brings the problems. If you are brought up with the attitude that minor rules dont matter and won't in any way be enforced you end up with no respect for mor major infringements of the law. When someone is fined for a speeding offence they are up in arms, not becuase they are not guilty but because they commit the offence on a daily basis and simply dont expect to be caught.
What we need is more enforcement, not less. Most of us comply wiht rules because by and large they are necessary for the running of an orderly society.
