Well look at speeding tickets. They're not that, much, so people speed and then pay them.
If each speeding ticket was half a million dollars or more and your car got towed if you didn't pay it, then people would absolutely stop speeding. Right?

Some people would just stop driving.
Some people would go on strike.

Do you see the flaw there? I created 4 likely scenarios only one of them is favorable, but the it's much more likely it'd split into all 4. So by doing this you'd be only applying to ~25% of the population. Laws are made to protect the people who will follow them. It's the scenario that criminals are the one with guns so what's the pointing of banning it for the ones who aren't criminals?
