A notable example is the approach to soft drugs in the Netherlands. Despite being illegal, the public prosecutor has chosen not to enforce the law. To the point that many if not most think they’re legal.
This situation presents a complex issue to me: it involves a small group of individuals (the prosecutor’s office) effectively deciding to disregard the broader democratic process and the will of the voters. When such things happen, I believe they should be rare, pragmatic and temporary.
What’s your view on the matter?
One of the reasons immigration is so fucked in the US is because of selective enforcement of the immigration laws that occurred for decades.
Just fix the law or risk a new administration coming in and deciding to start enforcing the laws as you have to watch the chaos and pain.
