While I agree with you completely, I would argue that this is actually a legal feature, not a bug.
Of course, you can very well end up with the conditions the original law wanted to impose. -OR- you might not. If there are some useful things in very bad laws (as is often the case), we can, as a society, try implementing these features piecemeal and see how they work out before making them all mandatory.
Although again, I do agree wholly, and I do not think this idea has any redeeming qualities whatever. Especially since it is essentially a "foot in the door," and from there is likely to only get worse.
