On the one hand, yes, fully enforcing these things would be gross overpolicing.

On the other hand, the selective enforcement is, by design, a way to manufacture an excuse to harass and persecute minorities/undesirables.

The correct solution is to relax or abolish the laws themselves until they diminish to the point that fully enforcing them is reasonable.

    Absolutely, and this is another thing that's going to prevent "fair" algorithmic enforcement from happening.

    I have always thought this, but I don't get my jollies out of selectively "sticking it to" people different than me for the same things I get away with all the time. Apparently, a lot of our government, police, and voters do...
