LOL. It is mandated now. It's the law. So, we just need to acknowledge that we believe the law is whatever the legal enforcer says it is and give them discretion over certain laws, classes of laws, or just everything. Is a gram of coke enforceable... an oz? Is it whatever the cop says it is? One mile over? 10 miles over? Stealing $50? $1,000.

We either have laws for a reason, or we should amend or get rid of them. It shouldn't be a guessing game or a game of cat and mouse. Cops shouldn't decide if red cars get tickets at 5 over and blue ones don't. Or on the basis of who's driving. Or whether they are from out of state. They aren't supposed to have discretion to enforce or not enforce legitimate laws. If the speed limits are too low, then pass a damn bill to get them raised.
