The word 'matches' was used as an attention grabber - the pros was after all types of fire-lighting material. Enforcing it is the other stupid part. We have things called ASBOs (anti-social behaviour orders) which are siupposed to stop people doing the things they shouldn' do. It's as naive a solution as it seems as enforcing it eats up even more time (police and courts). That's progress for you.
