I would say no to the above, because it is too expensive.

As people keep pointing out, we shouldn't allow crime to go on just because it is expensive to police it. They don't seem to mind spending money to catch people downloading child porn, even though downloading an mp3 instead will result in a much higher fine.
Saving money should never be used as an excuse to do away with the presumption of innocense until proven guilty.
