> These laws aren’t meant to be followed

Selective enforcement should be illegal - people practicing it should be put in prison, the law should be auto-repealed, any past sentences cancelled and the people sentenced should be compensated.

This should be written into every constitution, just like free speech and the right to kill when killing is right ("right to bear arms").



Agree. Good intentions. How do you practically approach this? Which incentives would you suggest to steer the system that way? What will keep the system from slipping back to selective enforcement?


Ok, 2 downvotes, so I surmise there are 2 people who genuinely think selective enforcement is right and should be legal. Either of you care to justify your opinion?
