I think that society as a whole should bear the costs of regulations it imposes, regardless of how narrow they are, so that the balance between practical gains from the law and the costs of its enforcement is more broadly considered. When laws are written in such a way that their enforcement is borne by a small subgroup for whom they're relevant, the rest of society tends to ignore the costs, even if they're large, and focus on the benefits, even if they're small. It basically encourages tyranny of the majority. (Courts should not be funded via court fines, and prisons should not be funded by inmate labor, for similar reasons.) |
