Just an idle thought. Since the end of the witch triels, the law does not acknowledge the existance of supernataral forces, such as those repersented by the WW. Therefore, if a muggle goes to her government to complain that a curse has been put upon her by a neighbour witch, they'll die laughing. It does not matter weither the witch is 'real' or just a wiccan, they'll still die laughing.
Now, if the MW government knows about the WW, they can't change their laws to reflect this, because they'll be laughing stocks. More to the point, how can they catch a fully trained wizard? I don't think they can. Now, its possibly that the effect that magic has upon technology is refected when there's enough technology around, but we don't know that.
