Things I'd like to do too if I was a mad authoritarian President...

I said "things", but the post is inspired by this one example:
Philippines' Duterte Says He Will Ban E-Cigarettes, Threatens To Arrest Vapers
Oh look, here's another mad thing it would amuse me to do:
All tattoos exposed within North Korea must show praise towards the Kim (leaders) family or otherwise have some kind of approved political purpose attributed to them.
Fantastic - I wouldn't ban tattoos, just legislate their content (and parts of the body they can be applied, of course.)   Let's see:  characters from Steven Spielberg movies permitted, but only on upper arms and chest, under the shirt line.   Neck and back tattooing completely banned.  Tattoo on the face means jail time.  

Update:  people who commute to work on bicycles wearing lycra - confiscate the bike.  If they were in the centre of a main road lane - a $10,000 fine too.   Groups riding on a road, in lycra, and not in single file - jail time.

Commuting cyclists should only wear ordinary clothes.  And stick to bicycle lanes.

Geeze, why doesn't the Mad Dictator Kim Il Whatever just go Full Monster and specify that, to get rid of the problem of ilicit tattoos, all citizens have to be tattooed with barcodes ending in '666'?

I’d put you in a re-Ed camp, stepford. If that didn’t work I’d send you to ISIS as an apostate.
