I have heard that in America the police sometimes fine people for driving at the speed limit because they’re driving too slowly. It’s an absolute farce.
A law that everyone breaks is a law that the police can choose to prosecute anyone for, for any reason. A law that you can be prosecuted for not breaking means you can’t even escape being targeted.
In fairness I also didn’t feel like I was reading eyewitness accounts of this kind of thing so maybe it doesn’t actually happen (or almost never, or did in the past but no longer)
