then pretty much every crime is ”fraud”. You are wrong.


No, speeding and nearly every other traffic offense is just brazenly doing the thing. There’s no deception required to facilitate drunk and disorderly conduct, trespassing, dumping your sofa by the side of the road, or just walk up to someone and start beating on them.

Really most crimes don’t require deception.


if you beat someone up you are defrauding their insurance company that has to pay for it and the govt that now has an injured tax payer that can’t pay taxes as well as a tax payer that wasn’t beat up. Can you prove that insurance companies don’t have to pay a single dollar if you beat someone up?
