You're right. That was carefully worded and none of that means those people were actually convicted of anything.

I wouldn't put it past them however to intentionally let in, even place, some very unsavory types in the system. Wait for (or manufacture) a spectacular failure or two, then claim the law wasn't working. That in the interests of "public safety" they had to change it etc. Never mind that this might require a few hundred people get hurt along the way - they have an agenda!
