Given the negative connotations of "zero tolerance" more recently, an off-topic historicalpoint: it is my understanding that "zero tolerance" was turned from a sensible policy invented by a New York City police chief (get people for smaller violations, too, hoping to net harder criminals by the way and have an educational effect) into a standard-fare authoritarian policy "owned" by New York major Giuliani (harsh punishments for everything, random police controls that seem to focus on certain groups of people, leniency towards police brutality).
