Mr. Hennessy will see my point. There is no deterrent whatsoever. There is no incentive whatsoever for people to hand in their medical cards. There is no reason they should do so. There is none whatsoever. They are never prosecuted; nothing ever happens. If the officers catch them, they will hand it back. It is a one-way bet for them, is it not?
