So...because you want to "feel" safe you think it is ok for armed bandits that apparently you approve of and willingly pay for to rob others who don't agree with your definition of safe in order to provide that false sense of safety for you? If so you have horrible ethics to think its ok for others or you to take what's not yours without the consent of who you take it from? What law did I violate and who was the victim of my crime? Did I violate the constitutions of both Washington State or did the Trooper? Why am I the bad guy because I choose self governance? If you don't want to live that way and choose a master that is fine for you. Why do you think it is ethical or ok to force me to give up the ability to self govern and fall into the system of slavery you believe allows me to be free? What does my having insurance or not have anything to do with this interaction with this policy enforcer? Did I do damage to his car? If I did no damage to his property why does he need my insurance policy? Why would you assume that because I provided no proof of insurace when I didn't need to that I would not pay for any damage I cause to someone's property or body? I'm confused as to how you came to this conclusion. The government doesn't own anything. They people own it all. We are the ones that pay for it all. Besides roads are paid for with gas taxes. It's a some what voluntary tax. How about since when we each assume the risk of having our automobile's damaged when we leave our houses and we can't control others, we each just insure our own vehicles or not. Then if an "accident" happens you are covered. Just like with homeowners insurace.
