I agree. I think this is called selective enforcement[1] or prosecutorial discretion.
I believe it turns the biases of individual enforcement officers into society-wide inequalities. E.g. white kid with marijuana gets a stern warning while black kid gets his freedom taken away. Instead, the enforcement officers should be obligated to charge both with crimes due to the rule of law.
