I think we're in agreement. Criminalizing common activity gives police discretion for selective enforcement, which leaves the door open for abuse. Contrived example: everyone is speeding, and a corrupt cop only tickets cars with bumper stickers for sports teams that oppose his favorite. It could be a lot worse than that, of course.
When police have to overlook a large amount of activity that violates the law, something is wrong with the law.
