Seriously?? So for every person that gets murdered in his bed there are 10,000 others that don't; let's not burden the public with pesky and expensive police. Because they crimp your style... That's your argument??

Do not misdirect with what the lawsuit said. The fact is that a tire pressure monitoring system, which is now mandated, would have save the vast majority of those lives lost. Period.

Now, given the chance to do it over, what would you prefer:
A) Those 250+ people dead (and 3000+ injured) and one less law that annoys you on the books, or
B) Those people alive and you dealing with being annoyed...

I certainly know which I prefer.
