> They obviously did not know they are asking for selective enforcement.

I knew. I said it anyway. I maintain that selective enforcement establishes a chilling effect.

The only chilling effect it has is "don't anger guy in charge", not "don't do bad thing".

It is a "cure" that is both ineffective and worse than the disease.

It's putting knives on the outside of cars to have a chilling effect on jaywalking.

  • I think it's one thing you think it's another. Why don't you get curious or steel man instead of prosecuting?

    • This has not been an unknown matter of opinion or speculation since the dawn of writing. You are free to think otherwise, but it is only the freedom to be ignorant.
