If law enforcement is there to enforce laws, why do they threaten to not investigate minor crime such as breaking and entering, car theft? They say they don't have enough money in their budgets, yet they go after lane changers.
When cops start prioritizing what is important, then citizens may have more respect for them.

That would be like asking why doesn’t a nurse perform surgery like a doctor because they’re both medical professionals.
