This could easily apply to speeding and street racing

Is penning people in like cattle and monitoring their every move a
good idea? You'll save a handful of lives (maybe) out of the 25,000
who die on roads each year due to other reasons from texting morons to
red-light runners. Street racing and speeding deaths are as blown out
of proportion as the swine flu threat, with similar comparative
numbers.

British politician:

Shadow justice secretary Dominic Grieve also spoke to the London
audience, arguing that the government's desire to control risk in
society was "destroying our quality of life".

"We have to accept that society and life carries risk and whilst it is
the duty of the state to do its best to moderate and prevent what is
wrong, nevertheless there are finite limits," he said.

"We, as citizens, have to make this clear to government, we are
prepared consciously as adults to accept some element of risk in order
to be free."

I seems most of them have been purchased by those who would rather see
the population treated as livestock or some other form of animal.

Rich has an agenda.... always has...

The big problem is that the Brits are talking about you accepting the risks
of your actions....

Rich is talking about US accepting the risks of HIS actions....

Context means a lot...
