It counts as farce. The law literally as passed states that the law itself is not capable of dealing with the situation, so it is law to deal with the situation.

It's a clear sign that your government is failing its responsibilities. The US has done it too.

Your government is with a straight face telling you that it doesn't legitimately have enough control over you so it needs to create extra-legal means of having control over you.

It's tyranny. There's a reason these acts only can get passed in war time. The population is too busy pissing its pants to realize when it's getting shafted.
