Selective Enforcement of the Law

Friday Letters to the Editor

The third letter is one that really irritates me. Folks violate a law then expect that the police should not enforce that law because it is a "minor" law, because they're "not inconveniencing anyone," or because it is related to their kids. This letter writer even goes so far as to berate the residents of the neighborhood that he was visiting for calling the police about the violation. One wonders if he would be in favor of selective enforcement if the shoe was on the other foot. Take responsibility for your actions, pay your ticket, and move on.

Speaking of kids, isn't it a bad example to set to not take responsibility for your actions?
