Sometimes isn't good enough. That's just selective enforcement, which is arguably worse than no enforcement at all.

No law is enforced absolutely on every offender. That's impossible. Selective enforcement is a problem, but I would never say it's worse than no enforcement unless the law is bad in the first place.
