If you want something to be legal, make it legal. Don't make it illegal-but-not-enforced. Because then, whoever is in power can selectively enforce the law aga

  Hmm. I think my mental model is more that it should be "randomly" enforced. The probability of getting caught is higher than some certain threshold, but that it's not necessarily bad if that threshold is lower than 100%. I can't think of any resonable society that have taken actions to show that they want the probability to be 100%. I would even argue that the most harsh dictatorships probably have the highest enforcement, but that laws were/are very selectively enforced in the favor of e.g regime officials.

    Okay, I see your point, I think we were talking about different things.
