The law was enacted because somebody's ox was gored,
and people panic easily.  It's not repealed because
not enough people are making a good enough case to
repeal it.  I don't even know how hard they're
trying.  Are the people who lobbied to pass it still
in office?  It looks to me like if this were in the
US, it could go to the Supreme Court on the basis of
a) and b).

What's going on (or not going on) here?

Live long and prosper,
Kennita
