The problem with this is that it teaches kids no respect for the law and they do not have to deal with the consequences of their actions. I found this complete lack of respect for rules etc very disheartening as a teacher. But more so the fact that they knew they would get away with it.
I know that its hardly the crime of the century, but it does not set the right example. They must be made to think that there is a good chance that they will get caught (anycrime)and that they will have to suffer the consequences. There is no need to go over board by the police, just a word to the Parents from them would be enough.
