People are driving on the road paid for by their taxes. And freedom of travel by automobile is a liberty not a right because it can be taken away, as this article appears to document, unjustly or in criminal matters, justly.


Both life and liberty are rights which may be forfeit by criminal action. Simply because the justice system can revoke your life does not make your life a privilege as Ms Krapielian would have us believe.

The simple fact of the government paving all public thoroughfares does not somehow mean that it is now a privilege to walk upon them or drive on them.


I don't know who Krapielian is. Rachel Kaprielian(1) was the one who made the statements: "There are mistakes that can be made." and the real jewel "Yes, it is an inconvenience [to have to clear your name], but lots of people have their identities stolen, and that’s an inconvenience, too."
