Strict liability literally is crimes that don't require a guilty mind.

That's different (sometimes) when, for example, you're found guilty of criminal negligence leading to someone being injured.

Prosecutors don't have to demonstrate that you intended for someone to get hurt for that, your mens rea is that you should have perceived the danger of what you were doing but didn't.

edit: reading your other comments in this thread, maybe I missed your point, in which case, whoosh.
