Not sure I follow. I get the first order effects, but I'm hesitant to agree without an explanation of the second-order and systemic-level effects of such a policy.
There are other first order effects that government does (e.g
Inflation, arraignments for infractions, vehicle infraction revenue cutting) that drown out those second order effects. Fix those first.
You suggested them. The only real one I can think of is price inflation, and that's like nothing next to the destructiveness of the fed.
If you don't understand why arraignments for minor violations are awful for the working poor, you've probably never been poor. When I was poor I was lucky enough to not be hurt by arraignments (flexible work hours), but boy did I have sympathy for those people who were relentlessly fucked by that system. There was always at least one of them whenever I had to show up at court, and it wasn't hard to figure out how they got into those situations.
