Have any arrests been made under these laws? Offering players a "plea bargain" of a fine and probation might further line the state coffers.

From everything I know about these types of draconian moralist laws the above statment seems very astute. The conspiracy drug laws, RICO, even tax evasion laws have all been used for exactly the purpose this poster was talking about. The cops hit someone up with a charge that potentially carries 20 or 30 years in prison then say, "hey, you don't really want to go to jail do you?. And there ain't no garuntee and jury isn't going to send you there so why don't you do the smart thing and work with us."
Then 3 bank accounts, a mercedes, a house and 500 hours of community service later, the accused are freed and go back to their lives trying to dodge bad laws meant to give police the maximum power over anyone they choose to indict.
