Once traffic lights give way to pedestrians; cars coming from the other direction are supposed to stop. But one might not. And some undertaker might undertake a burial.
That person next to you (be they a friend, a stranger, or, a foe) is not “supposed” to kill you; but he might make the last time that you saw your loved ones, the last time.
In such instances, assumption is deadly.
(Laws don’t
prevent unlawfulness; they merely
encourage obedience.)
