Too bad they don't realize that this will only make people increasingly angrier... I'm pretty sure that people who propose and enact laws like this genuinely believe they'll cause people to change their behavior, and that the people whose behavior it won't change should be locked up, anyway. It's the same kind of fantasy as believing that DRM actually has a meaningful impact on piracy.
