  Because the police are breaking the laws, and they aren't policed.
context: This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.
  Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"
  (For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)
  Rule-breaking posts may result in bans. >
  
  I would assume that the majority of it is probably traffic and the majority of that is probably speeding-  probably no one drives below 55 mph in the freeway unless forced too. >
  
  Well, I mean, there isn't much on our highways that is below 55..  speed limit is 65-75.
  By our, I mean those in my state. >
  
  Every night, almost all owners of new cars, especially trucks and Jeeps, are breaking the law with their ridiculously bright headlamps. And the people who raise their vehicles without adjusting the headlamp tilt are even worse. But the police don't enforce the laws, so everyone else gets blinded. And carmakers break the law by selling these lights, but regulators don't seem to give a crap.  
  Now this makes me curious about how many extra collisions this causes, how much extra road rage it generates, etc. >
  
  If a law is not enforced, it should be repealed.
  Selective enforcement is bullshit and used in a discriminatory manner. >
  
  That’s why it is often said that “it is better to ask forgiveness, than permission”. You’re likely to not get caught or in trouble for many things. >
  
  100% enforcement of any minor law is likely not desirable. It would be way too expensive. >
  
  Unless you’re a minority in America, then that shit is priority number 1 >
  
  They're downvoting like you lied or something.  I've been pulled out of a damn crowd of jaywalkers to receive a jaywalking ticket. Twice. 
  Must be nice to get to ignore some laws then post about it. My black ass is out here counting to three at stop signs and making sure never to tie my alligator to a fire hydrant on Sunday. >
  
  Like the local noise ordinance against straight-piped motorcycles that our awesome police department refuses to enforce. >
  
  Motorcycle chases are very dangerous. Most cops don't wanna risk lives to make a bike say vroom vroom more politely >
  
  You know that motorcycles also have to have license plates, right? They don't give you one of those without telling the DMV your name and address.
