    Commiting a crime makes you a criminal, so if you break a law you are a criminal. And if the decisions of health insurance workers are also breaking laws they are criminals too.

      Then if you have ever gone faster than the speed limit, you are a criminal. That makes most people in the developed world criminals.

      That aside, the point is that naming someone a criminal has moralistic baggage, and by saying that anyone that breaks laws is a criminal thus immoral, you imply all laws are inherently moral.

        It’s an infraction.

          Depends on the jurisdiction. In some places in some conditions going 50 in a 30 is a criminal act that can result in jail time.

            Just a bit more than “faster than the speed limit”.

              It’s not noticing a sign next to roadworks in a city, sadly not uncommon.

              I meant km/h, 30 is a fast cycling speed, 50 is the usual residential area speed limit.
