Anyone arrested gets their fingerprints (and DNA) taken as a matter of procedure.

Someone should have looked at this & said "WHOA!, stop whats happening & consider a warning etc".

Just preparing a case for this will have cost loads more than the fish were worth.
There has to be some common sense used when prosecuting someone & there are other ways of dealing with such petty crimes.
