Somehow we always end up punishing the masses for the sins of the few.

It depends how you look at it. Lots of car drivers do break the law, redesigning the street to discourage driving with high speed is a good thing when you care about the safety of the ppl. Not just to stop those with high speed, but also to reduce the avg speed to give drivers more time to react. In this sense, if you put people safety as top concern, you help the masses(all the ppl are pedestrians at some point) by enforcing safe driving for the few that do drive with proper street design

It’s called “The tragedy of the commons”.

I don’t think that applies in this case. You have trivially provable crimes, easily resolved by making a few examples getting harsh punishment.

We have cameras, drones, police departments equipped with military gear, and software to monitor and record electronic communications.

The only thing missing is political will to make it a priority.

This is why I left the US. It’s actually way better out here.
