I'd say a lot more people today are being labelled as criminals and given fixed penalty notices for many things. years ago a lot of people respected the law and would never think of themselves of either being labelled a criminal or being a criminal.
this causes many things.
resentment for the police and the law (even by people who wouldn't normally, but have since lost confidence either by experience or disgust)
an attitude of WGAF anymore, everyone's a criminal anyway.
and the thinking of I'll most probably just get a fine anyway if I get caught.
there's no longer a 'fear' if you like of the law.
