Like I said in my previous post, many things are illegal, but not viewed as wrong(even by the police themselves in some cases).
Indeed, but now you're talking about degrees of wrongness and the appropriate sanction to be taken against them - whereas you started out asking whether it was simply right or wrong.

You are debating a different question.
