Police has that discretion and it is ripe for abuse.

The term crime lost a lot of its meaning somewhere between 10 commandments and now...

I guess dude committed a crime here but most people prolly would not really care.

While others commit bigger crimes and we care, nothing gets done.

If you have lots of crimes on the books and police have enforcement discretion, that’s a recipe for targeting whoever they want.
