I agree with you completely. The other side is, there are idiots driving Fords and Holdens who are also feeling the brunt of the law. The primary difference is, this doesn't get advertised as much.
Due to the culture surrounding imports, the general belief is that imports are racing weapons that club baby seals. The general public don't want to beleive that kids in Commos and Falcons are doing this and this is what the media feeds off. When I say media, I mean the likes of TT and ACA.
To give you an example:
A few weeks ago my Partner was dropping her kid off at Kindy. She was in her R34 GT-V (4 door, NA, Auto) at the time when a kindy mum asked her if she was a hoon because she drove an imported car. Reason that she asked was because there was an article on TT the night before talking about Skylines. Chants denied that she drives like that and the kindy mum said that the car in the article was different. Chants pulled up a pic of a VL on her phone and the kindy mum immediately recognised the rear as that of the car in the article. She was gobsmacked and didn't want to beleive it.
Shit like this, doesn't help. Add on to this that there are kids doing stupid shit in these cars, it doesn't help us at all.
Tl;dr - I agree with you mate. It's just BS that the whole truth of the matter doesn't get publicised.
