Because that doesn’t make sense? Consequences naturally scale with responsibility and laws should reflect that. An airline pilot faces much greater repercussions for negligence than a passenger car driver does because of the responsibility of the role the number of people who you are tasked with protecting. Why should the equivalent of a J walker get charged the same way a negligent ships captain should be?
I mean think about how the justice system works, a jury will hand down a different verdict for theft if one person is accused of stealing bread to feel their family and another person is a billionaire who stole some bread cause they just didn’t care to pay. Those crimes should receive different sentences yes?
