Incompetence is a double-edged banana.

One can imagine the government's problem. This is all pretty magical stuff to them. If I were trying to terminate the operations of a witch coven, I'd probably seize everything in sight. How would I tell the ordinary household brooms from the getaway vehicles?

I'm still strongly opposed to antismoking laws, strongly opposed to any law that regulates personal behavior.
