The more frequently breaking the law coincides with good morality, the weaker the law becomes, and the less legitimacy the state holds. That's why setting everything up for selective enforcement is so destructive.


I question whether the daily flouting of laws like the speed limit on the highways has a measurable impact on the "legitimacy of the state".


Is it okay for someone to go "Ha ha, you're my bitch" just because they can?
