I agree that putting people in prison often puts them on a worse path in life. But I think that is true for all crimes. What I disagree with is you trivialising this particular crime saying it's unlikely to kill someone. That is not true. If you hit a wire at 30kph it's very likely to kill you.
4 people hit it? 0 died. So just guessing but less than 25% chance to kill you. That's not very likely.
Small sample size. Hard to draw conclusions. Let's end our disagreement here. All the best
Not often I come away from a discussion on sentencing glad the cops are the ones making the prosecution.
