On the other hand, such pervasive and ever present law enforcement is oppressive. If the majority of your citizens are breaking a law, then your citizenship clearly thinks the law is unnecessary. We give road laws a pass because safety is quite provable through studies and we listen to our researchers, but if we scaled this out to all crimes (like jaywalking) I think you would see just about everyone is a criminal eventually.

In a democracy, that policy would get you removed from office. Don't hassle your own voters.
