Regulations and restrictions of potentially dangerous tools are sane governance.
Most civilised societies already have use restrictions for operating vehicles, consuming alcohol, etc. If current regulatory guidelines are not as effective, then revision and increased enforcement would be necessary. Statistically, males in the ages between 13 to 26 commit virtually all of the crimes in modern society. Perhaps, the government ought to increase surveillance and target enforcement to these demographics. Limiting their access and use of automobiles, alcohol, firearm, etc. will create a more stable and safe society.

No amount of enforcement, much less increased regulation, is going to make a society problem-free.
Incremental erosion of liberty does nothing more than slowly infantilise people and make daily life impossible without the state's constant interference. Progress then stagnates, and the system ultimately collapses.

By your logic, society ought not even have laws. Why even have laws against murder, theft, and rape, when enforcement will only "erode" liberty. I gather all societies ought to aim towards the libertarian utopia in Somalia, where roving band of thugs and pirates exercise their liberty without "state interference."

Every tool is a potentially dangerous tool.
And you're right: why have laws? Things that are actually wrong-- murder, theft, rape, and other types of political behavior-- don't need to have legislation written for you to have the right to defend yourself from those committing the acts. And all other legislation is a violation just like murder, theft, rape, etc.
And did you really just fall into the Somalia trap? Even after you were warned? LOL!!!

Ah, so you and your lot are advocating rule by force alone. I am sure the idiot libertarian who set-up his utopia leeching-off the Thai economy exercised his "right" to defend himself; more like the "right" to die while being absolutely mental. Under your system of non-governance, the only reason why the pirates do not rape your wife, eat your children, and burn your house down is because they haven't found you yet.

The fact that you think roving gangs are numerous enough to pose a significant threat to everyone says something about you. You sound like one of those religious apologists who claim that we can't be moral without someone else telling us what to do. This is the reason anarchists say that statism is a religion. I'm sorry if the lack of a police state ruined your country, but that doesn't mean a police state is the solution to everything.

You are yet another disciple of Rousseau's failed and false idea of "natural morality" of men. You are either ignorant or willfully denying the consequence of allowing humanist fanaticism to undermine sociocultural restraints. The Terror, Paris Commune, or the numberless humanist revolutions of the past 2 centuries demonstrates the delusion of "natural morality" in men. In fact, any sane man observing 2-year olds interacting would realise the insanity of Rousseau and his disciples' claims. Morality is not an instinctual phenomenon; it must be taught. The one under the sway of blind faith is you and your humanist fanatics.
If you think British parliamentary system is equivalent to Stalinist totalitarian state, then you ought to check yourself into a mental institution for therapy. Just because sane men refuse to live in Lord of the Flies type social construct does not make them apologists for totalitarianism.

No rule. Not by anything or anyone. No one has the right to govern another person, because that "right" can't exist.
And I didn't say anything about non-governance-- I advocate post-political governance. Governance without the unethical, antisocial stuff that is politics. Market governance uses the economic means and is ethical.
If you believe the State protects you, I guess you believe the cattleman is the cow's protector, too. (Until butchering day, anyway.)

Putting "sane governance" in the same context as the current regulatory environment is a bit like putting "sane cuisine" in the same context as Hannibal Lecter.
And are you seriously suggesting age and sex discrimination as a tool for government to use? What if the statistics say that young black males commit more crimes than any other demographic? You favor racism too?
People should be judged as individuals based on their own actions, not the actions of others, even if the others happen to be the same age, sex and/or race.

The OP claims that the problem of social ills are "reckless and evil" people. I merely offer solutions based on such claims. Using statistical data and facts to inform policy decisions is now "racist?" I hope those in positions of authority in your society aren't blinded by ludicrous ideologies to willfully ignore facts in determining social policies.

Government shouldn't be making up policies. Feel free to make up your own policies, but if you are going to impose your policies on others at the barrel of a government gun you are dangerously antisocial.
And "political authority" is the Most Dangerous Superstition. Please ditch it.

Sure, living in a world where every business pollutes the water and the air, drugs are sold to 5 year olds, pedophilia runs rampant, the roads are filled with drunk drivers, and men die from cyclical epidemics seem to be towards which every humam society ought to strive. Do you even reflect upon your bonkers ideas before proposing them for public consumption?

If a business pollutes the water and air, they have violated someone's property rights. The only way they can get away with this is if they are protected from responsibility and from paying restitution by government cronyism.
Who is going to sell drugs to someone who doesn't have any money to pay? Prohibition might result in such things, since it gets honest people out of that market and empowers criminal gangs with the artificially inflated prohibition prices. But just keep doing what you're doing if you like the results you are getting.
It seems ironic that you'd mention pedophilia since the biggest offenders seem to always be politicians or the politically connected around them. Those are the people safe from self-defensive violence because of their "elite" position.
The roads are filled with drunk (and drugged) drivers now. Even with swarms of cops out there murdering people in the name of "check points". How much worse do you want it to get? Really? My daughter was killed in a wreck caused by a drugged driver just over 4 years ago. Did the swarms of cops violating drivers' rights every day make her safer? Nope. So shut your bigotted mouth about things you know nothing about.
And, just before I go... you do realize, don't you, that epidemics aren't stopped as fast as they could be due to drug approval "laws" and other such government actions which slow down reaction time.
Really, you need to reflect upon YOUR totally insane, disproved superstitious notions before embarrassing yourself in public again.

Businesses and corporations are fined and regulated by governments everyday for pollution and environment related issues. It is only in the absence of government intervention do these mercantile scum pollute the environment. The solution is not to eliminate regulations, but to strengthen the departments overseeing environmental laws.
The criminals are selling drugs to children currently, even with strict government restrictions. Your delusional solution to rampant addiction and dissolution of society is to increase distribution of drugs by eliminating all restrictions and criminal laws. Your lot won't be satisfied, until civilised societies degenerate into failed narco-states of Central and South Americas.
Offenders of pedophilia are "always" elected representatives and government officials? From what facts do you derive this nonsense, or are you merely indulging in more paranoid delusions? Do you possess information not privy to legal enforcement departments to accuse political figures of pedophilia, or is this merely slander? Those in political positions involved in criminal activities are removed and prosecuted, despite your fantasies regarding the reality of the civilised societies.
And here is the crux of your life philosophy. Since your daughter is dead, you are willfully indifferent towards the lives of others' daughters and sons. Worse, you actively work to subvert the law enforcement efforts to reduce deaths from drunk drivers with your cock and bull libertarian idiocy. Every drunk detained from police check point saved the life of someone's daughter or son; but you could care less about others' well-being, since these efforts no longer benefit you. What a disgusting way to live life! You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

It is racist if you use statistics to treat an individual of a certain race differently without having any other evidence of their wrongdoing, yes. Individual rights dictate that an individual must be judged on their own merit, not the statistics of their race/sex/age/whatever. Those that do evil deeds should be punished, not the rest of us.
