“When you criminalise things that aren’t real crimes you still create real criminals, but what does the government want to do with the criminals it creates?”

If you criminalise something, it becomes a real crime. In the case of speeding tickets, fine any bastard who goes over 28mph in a 30 zone - it's a MAXIMUM, not a TARGET. Gah.
R Symonds, SRA
I doubt if the politicians think much beyond the soundbyte value of "ban X" or "criminalise Y" or "restrict & licence Z".
The objects of the game are :
a) to momentarily raise the profile of the political parasite who's blagged his/her way in front a TV camera,
b) to intimidate & control the populace through fear,
c) to make the politician resemble a caring & honourable person who appears to be serving their country well (otherwise known as camouflage for the otherwise unelectable....... I could make a joke here about standards in public office, but it's really difficult to put the words 'standards' & 'politician' into the same sentence for some reason...)
"...but what does the government want to do with the criminals it creates?”
Wait for the mornings headlines (Daily Mail, Sun), then decide...
Take away their guns, thus ensuring the government remains in power.
