Saying "You have no right to initiate force" is not the same as saying "Thou shalt not initiate force".
Sometimes I wonder if people get the distinction. Probably not, since most seem to have been programmed to see things only in terms of "Thou shalt not...".
If you feel you "must" initiate force to prevent what you believe to be a looming disaster (an obviously drunk/impaired driver, for example), then go ahead and do it with the full understanding that you are acting outside of what you have a right to do, and accept ALL the consequences, even if you feel they are not "fair".
And don't think it's OK to steal money to pay for others to do it on your behalf. It isn't. In fact, I think that's even worse than initiating force yourself. It just makes more people guilty.
