One case does not make a point. The point made is troubling, however. When law enforcement does not feel obligated to enforce the law, how can the law have power ?
I will also diffidently point out that the US DOJ has also announced that they feel that certain laws are 'not worth of enforcement' for political reasons. Of course those laws, like the ones mentioned above, were enacted for political reasons as well.
If government feels that laws are optional, at what point will:
1- Government ignore other laws ?
2- Citizens also ignore other laws and use #1 in the resultant court case against them ?
