That's a very deficient understanding of what freedom is.
No, it's not deficient in the least. You are free to do what you desire, but if you kill, injure, harm, etc. someone or their property and you are held responsible for your actions. If you intend on fining everyone into compliance, there is zero freedom there; only compliance through fear.
Cujet's post hits it right on the head. The punishment needs to fit the crime. Bad wipers are not a crime.
Let's hope you never get hit by a drink driver.
