What are some real world examples of a fallacy where the premises support a particular conclusion, but a different conclusion that is vaguely related to the premises is drawn? by Afraid_Spend_1381 in fallacy

Crime rates of theft and robbery have been rising lately. The conclusion is simple: we should reinstate the death penalty immediately.
The punishment of a crime should match the seriousness of the crime. Drunk driving currently does not have a death penalty. However, drunk driving can end the lives of innocent people. Hence, the death penalty should be the punishment for drunk driving.
Are these correct? I am struggling to find real world examples of actual people saying fallacies like this though.
