Crime is already, by definition, illegal. If there is some benefit to committing a crime, shouldn't we create laws against the crime, rather than laws against the benefit. I mean, money from crime can also translate into money for nice cars, so restricting the sale of nice cars would discourage crime. But it would be silly.
