So you are saying it is OK to break some laws as they are about something minor.

Having Law Enforcement selectively apply laws based on who the violator is is also wrong. And believe me, I have met plenty of asinine cops.

Law enforcement officers have the ability to show discretion. Cops give out warning instead of tickets all the time for speeding. They also give out warnings in other situations such as a family party getting too loud. It's just good police work.

Do you think that cops arrest or ticket someone every time they engage a member of the public? Have you never seen a cop tell someone to move along rather than arresting them him for loitering?

Using discretion is not the same as ignoring laws.

Nice strawman. No one has asserted that Limbaugh should have been given a pass because he is rich or famous.
