You mean that they are not effectively enforced.

It's not the local laws, but the enforcement of such laws though.

Enforcing laws has a different effect than not enforcing laws.

We have laws.. they just arent enforced.

There's no point in having laws you don't enforce.

nedwin Aug 15, 2018 View on HN

I can imagine they're difficult to enforce.

It's interesting how many laws need to be selectively enforced because consistent enforcement would enrage people.

Ah, interesting, thanks. So these laws aren't as unenforceable as I thought, that's good.

Right, I should have specified "Enforced laws". Considering how easy this one is to enforce, and how rarely it's actually enforced, it basically doesn't exist.

The law is not necessarily broken, but enforcement is.
