There will always be a difference between the rules and laws that exist and people's behavior. They exist in a state of equilibrium. When laws are enforced to their maximum extent, it disrupts this equilibrium resulting in unintended consequences. The general rule is that systems are flexible to handle a few free-rideea, but eliminating free ridership completely tends to punish the lawful and rule abiding. If this happens too much the lawful become resentful and defect. If that happens too much then the rule makers and enforcers have a much bigger problem on their hands.
