How do you enforce the crackdown in Pakistan?

I can’t help imagining a Paki version of Barney Fife going in to enforce the regulations.

If Paki-Barney is smart, he will conduct his Wild Cat Confiscation rounds in the company of a Government hired Veterinarian, one armed with a fully loaded tranquilizing gun.
Paki-Barney will be holding a canister of Bear Spray.
