Ever heard of Dunning-Kruger? Geez. Subjective opinion of one's self can be vastly different to the objective truth.

I wonder what drunk driving stats currently look like, despite harsh laws against them. These are people who believe "I'm fine to drive" and disregard the health of others when they get on the road. Imagine if in your magical world there are no drunk driving laws, because hey, let's trust everyone to be capable blah blah blah. On that topic, substance abuse.. but hey "my body, my problem?" right? Except substance abusers become a problem when they commit crimes against other people so they can get their fix, and when they fall over in public and start foaming in the mouth needing the ambulance. (Not familiar with the libertarian cult ideology, does one need a fat credit card before the ambulance start treating one's self?).

Whatever magical believe you have about those capabilities, yeah, most people in the world don't have them to the degree of perfection you think you have. Should I study more to advance my career? Yes. Should I have a better work-life balance? Yes. Am I doing those things? No, instead I'm spending time responding to crackpots on the Internet.

So yeah, trying to govern a society with your (IMO idiotic) assumptions is a stupid idea, because it's a society we don't have. Should we just cancel all drink driivng laws because we should assume right now that everyone will be responsible and not drink drive? To expand that, should we cancel all police because we can assume everyone will be responsible citizens and not commit crimes against others? What a genius idea. /s
