Twelve month conditional discharge and ?55 costs for moving 800lb of carp - I'm sure that is not a deterrent to many. OK, I'm not suggesting we hang, draw and quarter people. But I'm sure that many involved in this sort of thing see penalties like that as worth taking the risk for.
I think the problem is, that whilst we as responsible anglers, see the harm that can be done by transferring fish, to the average man in the street, there's no big deal. Probably even some Magistrates, think to themselves sometimes, 'what's this case doing here, just a few fish, what's the harm in that?'
