No, because I didn't say don't go after that $3 at all, just that cheaper means of enforcement should be considered to be looked at; and
If the purpose of laws are to benefit everyone in society, then I think you need to take a wider view; if society is benefited more by less enforcement, then I think that is the proper approach, even if it results in you personally losing a little bit.
