As far as enforcement goes (as explained to me by EPOs) , the few that get arrested get taken before a judge and the case is moved through quickly and relatively painlessly (minimal fines) because there are more important cases to hear or the arestee claims poor-mouth and was only doing to stay head above water. Most ways removing teeth and further eroding the incentive not to poach.
