Simon's idea is already in action in European cities. I can't remember if it was in Rome or Paris but I know that the public/tourists can be prosecuted for buying from the hawkers who sell counterfeit handbags and watches on the streets. It's a much more effective way of stamping out the problem than firstly catching, and then prosecuting the traders, who are only the final link in the chain anyway. |
