People get away with a lot of crimes these days because of the petty nature of the crime. It goes to illustrate I think that old saying by one of the founding fathers of America John Adams, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Laws do not stop people from doing bad things. It's why creating more and more legislation cannot really change anything for the better.
