There are things that we believe, as a society, that are against the law but should not be. Certain actions remained outlawed even though the context in which they occurred has long since changed. Most of these are archaic and deliberately unenforced, but they can be enforced when authorities decide they want to make an example of people.
Others are selectively enforced. If you are driving at 70 km/h on a road with a 60 km/h speed limit, but are not drunk or handling your vehicle rashly, and it’s a quiet afternoon with no traffic around, nobody cares. Even if a policeman flags you down, there’s every chance you get away with just a reprimand.
