"Gross deviation" from normal behavior is what makes it criminal (as
opposed to perhaps a traffic offense.) You says it happens all the
time. Thus, based on your own experience, is probably not a gross
deviation. So, not a crime.
This is the gist of your argument and it is complete bull****. You are
claiming that crime is mitigated by the frequency with which it is
committed. Grossly dangerous behavior cannot be normalized; if we allow
that to be, there would ultimately be no point whatsoever to having laws
to govern human behavior.
An example is a local case being prosecuted criminally which is one of
the very examples I gave- being distracted by the cell phone resulting
in the driver striking and killing one person and permanently disabling
another in the car that she hit. Even though distracted driving happens
all the time, it does rise to the level of gross negligence.
