For those of you who believe that we have no free will, why should we have any legal system of laws?

If you believe that we have no free will... no ability to make any choices on our own... then why should we have any system of laws that we must follow? Why should someone be punished for not following a law when they had no ability to choose to follow it? They did not follow the law, but that was all that they could do... Why does it make sense to punish them for that?

Who believes we have no free will?

@Carazaa I have encountered several people here who seem to strongly claim that there is no free will and that they have no control over anything that happens in their life. None of those individuals responded to my question, possibly because they see the difficulty in defending their position.
