So, doesn't crime to be true crime require a malicious intent, as objectively evaluated?
Is breaking a rule a crime or is that rule breaking which is fundamentally different from a crime?
Example, a person going through a red light is a stupid rule breaker. Versus:
A person deliberately slamming their car into you is a criminal BECAUSE they intended to hurt you.

Have we not lowered our civilization/government/society by no longer properly differentiating between these two?
