Seth Williams says he doesn’t always wear his seat belt while driving. Philadelphia’s District Attorney also says he was recently caught by a red-light ticket camera.
Lessons for enforcing driving in a town whose DA has broken a law or two can be implemented citywide. So Williams told 30 residents at Tuesday’s Northwood Civic Association meeting in the basement of St. James Church.
“It’s not the severity of punishment that changes behavior,” he said. “It’s the certainty of punishment.”
It was one of four hallmarks he gave for his developing administration, before taking questions from a community that has characterized itself in a quality-of-life war against blight and crime.
