It would be a civil law because it can put people at risk if the law is broken. The purpose of the law is to protect peoples safety. The new father would not have a valid argument because others wouldn't either, because they broke the law. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainiest answer (Not necessarily mine). Thanks, it really helps! :D
