You kid but there was a story some years back about some authoritarian dragnet in Austrailia being used to facilitate prosecution of pork products distributors who committed some mundane crime regarding weights and measures.
I can't find the link but I'm 99% sure it was posted on HN.
Not sure how that’s a mundane crime when it’s literally stealing
Stealing is a mundane crime. Poisoning the meat supply would be an example of an extraordinary crime.
Compared to breaking the speed limit it isn't. Most people don't steal. I am guessing most drivers speed at least occasionally.
