I completely disagree

Apart from the risk I already mentioned - and it is a real risk. Some years ago a family friend died as a direct result of a fall caused by a loose paving slab.

This is a pernicious form of theft. You are taking effort from people without their knowledge or consent. In effect you are making them work for no reward.

Where does it stop? Do you end up with so many of these that at the end of your day you are absolutely exhausted because you feel like you've been walking in soft sand all day?

This can easily be abused, so rest assured, there is a certainty it WILL be abused.
