Alternatively, just taking driving and parking alone, 99% of Villagers are "criminals".

Yes, you can.
Anyone who commits a crime is a criminal.
Not all crimes are equal in severity.
Punishment varies by severity of the crime.
Re-offenders are often given harsher punishments.
As driving a golf cart 20.1mph is illegal, one is a criminal. When one catches one going 19.9 mph, the criminal has no right to expect, demand, request special consideration of any kind from law abiding individuals. Criminals deserve only disdain for their failure to be law abiding citizens.
Simple.
