It's cheaper to run a court and a cop than run around trying to tie 'large
number of people' down for every traffic ticket. At some point they've got
to quit worrying about giving 'equal say' (one sort of democracy) and use
'equal representation' (which is another sort all together). We happen to
have a Constitution that through the 1st gives us both (in principle
anyway).
