A) some of the rules are bullshit that don't protect people
But they are still the rules. If you break them you have to be prepared to suffer the consequences. I regularly break traffic rules. I know what the rules are and what penalties I may be forced to accept.

Lastly, and nice use of the "that and x amount of money will get you y" figure of speech, I feel like it's under appreciated.
