I don't think you know what a strawman is - parent was making a (perfectly legitimate, IMO) point about how misconduct/negligence/accidents on the part of the government result in few to no penalties (worst case: someone may lose their job), while same behavior on the part of citizens can result in life-ruining, throw-the-book-at-him consequences.

It's pretty hard to misrepresent an opponent's argument when there have been no opposing arguments made yet!
