Are there any nations where diving with a breathing set is tightly restricted, or allowed only for work and the armed forces?

Are there many police or armed forces operations which result in bulk seizure of scuba gear? If so, what happens to it? If it is incinerated, what happens to unburnables? I had thoughts of seized diving weights ending up cast into bullets fired by the arresting authority's issue firearms.

I once realized that I did not want my fin buckles to end up in some inshore fishing village's harbour incinerator's ash-pan; but nowadays of fins even the buckles are made of plastic and not metal.
