    I think throwing them in prison would be a far more effective, if you’re looking for deterrents. If its good enough for drug dealers and petty criminals, why wouldn’t it work for a smaller group of people who have a way more negative impact on society?

      It would surely be more effective, but we didn’t have the political power to do something like that. So we got a fine.
