this is what annoys me about the law, if you get caught you get a soft sentence because of legalities or problems with the laws itself.

surely a tougher sentence or some proffesional help is warrented. ?
So what are you suggesting; that judges ignore the law? The only way around it in this case would be for parliament to pass a law making the punishment retrospective and I'm not sure if they can do that.
