Scumbag says, “due process “demands only that the law shall not be unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious, and that the means selected shall have a real and substantial relation to the object sought to be attained.”
That means, regulation needs to be proven safe and effective. What regulation ever has? Then the scumbag supports the criminal fine, without giving any substantive justification.
