Tires can't be criminals, they are inanimate objects. Only humans and some higher intelligent animals can break the law.
You'd think that but in the American legal system corporations are civil rights bearing people, you're not related to your parents unless you maintain the same address, and objects can be suspected and tried for criminal acts and assumed guilty until proven otherwise.
When was the last time a corp was sentenced to death and executed?
that isn't the point, also the death penalty is almost never used anyway
My point is they are super citizens, with more rights and privileges and less things binding them.
The argument that corporations have civil rights is how the Supreme Court justified eliminating anti bribery laws that curtailed political funding from corporations.
