Re: Pointless

Well, let's not forget that legislators measure their contribution to society by how many laws they pass, so, for them, this is another checkmark in their "plus column". Whether a law has any real effect, or gets enforced... ever, is beside the point. Sad, huh.
Indeed. This is just another form of "double secret probation."

I just wish more people felt this way. Laws mean nothing if they are not enforced.

You either forgot, or didn't really need to, bring up one other point that I think is valid and goes hand in hand.. the "offsetting the cost" to the consumer.

I sometimes wonder if these bills are enacted in order to have that nice side effect of a new "fee" as well. I mean, seriously, what is the cost of having a law on the books that law enforcement can have to their disposal? (But like you said, there are already laws for this purpose)

But really... we need another fee for congress simply saying "stop spoofing?" How about passing the costs of this off to the offenders in court in the way of fines?
