I think this is one if those laws where they get to selectively choose who to prosecute.

Like every law.

    Over the course of the last decade, each year has seen an average of 2,685 new laws - the equivalent of almost seven and a half a day or one every three-and-a-quarter hours

    This was in 2007 in the UK. But I imagine it's much the same in the US. Literally impossible for anybody to follow every law, but that doesn't matter because as you say they're selectively enforced
