Impact

The immediate impacts seem to be non-existent. In fact, when the deadline approached, only a dozen individuals were present to submit the forms. However, the long term effects are to benefit the government as they selectively enforce it.

The law is clearly unworkable; there aren't enough people and the commission just isn't large enough to handle the paperwork necessary for filing all of the registrations. The government isn't doing much to enforce these new laws either. So why then would such a law be passed? Selective enforcement that may be used by the government as needed later.
