Sure, there are bad people in the world.  That's also a consequence of a 
free society - some people will take advantage of other people.

The solution isn't to remove the thing that people use to be dishonest, 
it's to address the dishonesty head on.  Which is what law is intended to 
do.

The same argument can be made about gun control:  rather than heavily 
regulate guns in the US, make the bad usages illegal and deal with those 
who break the law.
