As per the latter part first, KSK did a good job discussing the comparative negligence consequences - I don't know if you live in a CF% state, and the rules vary state-to-state, but that deals with quite a bit of what you're looking at.
As per the first part, I don't know how to reconcile that with decades of evidence that the 'deterrent' effect of laws or potential punishment varies from quite low to nonexistent.
