Sure. This is generally what we do as a society. For example we remove the freedom to very drunkenly drive because it causes more pain and suffering than we like.

Flipping it, I'm pretty sure that...

Upon reflection, the difficult question of utilitarianism (for me) isn't happiness, but why it should be maximised for all or wherever it potentially exists instead of for just a few.

Of course it is, but justice systems are like the atomic model.

Atoms don't really have shells with small ball electrons flying around them like planets. But it's a simple model that we "get"....
