Not necessarily, because those who break the law do so generally with the 
intention of not getting caught.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't have laws, but we have to be realistic 
about the application of laws.  Nobody takes (say) a gun into a church 
when it's against the law thinking "well, today's my day to get caught 
breaking the law".
