I think the law's a blunt instrument, and the problem with minimum mandatory or sweeping, tough drug laws.... If you look at what's happened in the States, the prisons are filled with people who got caught up, for whatever reason, but who may not be the top organized crime, the people you want to go after. I think what could be more interesting in some of the things even the federal government has already done is to look at things like gang enhancement laws.
It's the same thing with hate laws. It's bad when you beat up somebody, but if you beat up somebody because they're black or gay, there should be more punishment. So you shouldn't shoot people, but if you're driving by a neighbourhood and the only reason you're shooting, or part of it is because of the gang—you shouldn't sell drugs, but if you're doing it as part of a gang, there should be stiffer sentences. That is much more interesting because it then makes that distinction between victims and the perpetrators.
