I'm less concerned about penalty than any other aspect of the code and the way it's dealt with. I think right now the opportunities for penalties, thanks to recent amendments to the code, are relatively high. It is true that on occasion the penalties are too low, but as a class, my study of this has not shown that penalty is the problem. The problem is getting the conviction in the first place. That would be my answer.
