Whether it is a failure or not, depends on the effect that they intend. If it is simply to instill fear in order to effect people's behavior, it might be quite a success.
Also, considering the exorbitant amount of the penalties that have been levied is some court cases, they don't have to win many to rake in a profit. It doesn't matter to me whether I'm involved or not, because what is done to one person is done to all of us.
It seems to me that the rights of people no longer count for anything in this country, otherwise they wouldn't even contemplate such an atrocious plan of action. On the other hand, it doesn't speak well for the people, because in the past, we wouldn't have allowed it to go this far, without raising the roof.
