Comments
Bills like this should really require explanation. All that this bill does is increase the penalty for committing a particular crime. Why? Is the present classification not doing the trick? Do we have cause to believe that increasing the punishment will decrease the rate at which this crime is committed? Are there any figures on how often this law is broken, and what the impact of that is?
