Explain why not all laws are enforced equally.
What will be an ideal response?
Officers exercise discretion when determining when to enforce laws. The more serious an offense, the more likely it will be enforced, conversely, the less serious an offense, the less likely it will be enforced. Each jurisdiction has laws that, while on the books, are seldom enforced. Examples include an East Lansing, Michigan ordinance that bans the humming, singing, or playing of the University of Michigan fight song.
