>Anyone doing illegal activities must face consequences. While I'm not familiar with Spain's legal system, it is normally the case in legal systems that there is not a 'must' at play. Consequences can be given by the state, but the law does not demand they must be given. The state is not in violation of the law when it chooses to not attempt enforcement of the law. Be this a cop not choosing to give a speeding ticket to someone who wasn't speeding too dangerously, a prosecutor not enforcing a case they aren't sure they'll win, or for other reasons. This is relevant because given that the law lacks a 'must' directive ensuring it is always enforced, we need to determine when should the law be enforced. Even if one really does support enforcing the law whenever it is broken with no exceptions, support for such a stance is as warranted as support for any other stance would be.
