The OP title is a little misleading. Regardless the persons responsibility, he ignored the first penalty so it MUST be escalated. This is just one example of the millions of paper cuts (the license violation) rapidly degrading at least the US. I could give dozens of examples just based on traffic behavior during my commute per day. Most basic of all, speed limits have become a waste of stamped metal. Not even getting into the typical more serious crimes you see on the news daily, the white collar crime that's often less prominent in the news, white collar behavior that's unethical, but perhaps not illegal. Unethical and illegal behavior by all political parties that often goes unpunished or minimally punished.
