The existing law has been described as draconian, yet it is failing us. If proof is needed look at the drugs seizures which have escalated by a hundred-fold over several years. Quite simply, the law is inadequate and needs to be strengthened if we are serious about producing the type of society that we want. It is essential that criminals are deterred from their inclination to commit crime. The only way we can ensure that that will happen is to send out the strong and unambiguous message that crime does not pay.
Any reasonable person can see that the law, as it exists, is failing.
It is failing the law-abiding, and thus it appears to be assisting the criminal. That must end. Accountability and transparency must be the focus of all our endeavours. Watchdogs must have teeth.
