Jill and Cara,
Fair point. I didn’t think that through fully.

Also, Joe, you know there are a TON of laws on the books that aren’t enforced, right? In the town where I grew up, it was technically illegal to whistle on the street after 10pm. I’m guessing that was never enforced. Many, many places have silly ordinances on the books just like that. Sodomy laws are actually another good example — a Supreme Court case overturned them, but even before that they weren’t enforced very strictly (especially not among straight people). Police have a lot of leeway in determining who they do and don’t crack down on.

Joe, police officers make choices about which laws to enforce all the time. In some jurisdictions, laws about marijuana are not enforced. In virtually every jurisdiction, laws about jaywalking are not enforced. Laws about illegal music downloading are not enforced unless the RIAA starts filing lawsuits. Notice how you don’t usually hear about the houses of those illegal music downloaders getting raided? Because law enforcement has decided to focus its legal efforts elsewhere. Usually in efforts that have some sort of chance of going towards protecting the public.
