I wonder how many people would have this same feeling about ticketing for every violation if they were to be followed around and their actions be scrutinized. I doubt that any one of the pro-ticket group would be ticket-free at the end of the month if every one of their actions of going about their daily life were to be watched closely.
For example: there are those who say they drink but do so legally and within the confines of the law. Have you ever been to a block party where the neighborhood sets up the party on a dead end street and then consumed an adult beverage? Based on this thread, you have violated the law because you consumed alcohol on a public street. Even if you were drink-free, would you have applauded the police for swooping in and ticketing your neighbors for such scofflaw activity?
How about walking across the street to get to the squares? Do you always walk to the crosswalk when doing so? If not, you should gladly accept a ticket for your illegal behavior.
Beware of the moat that is in your own eye.
