This is not the only place where law enforcement is discouraged from enforcing the law. And the other side of it is that is law enforcement can be encouraged to enforce laws that are a waste of time. If you can get a large enough and shrill enough mob together, you can make law enforcement do anything you want it to.
Imagine that the drug war was waged the same way. Imagine marijuana offenses were an optionally enforced policy the same way illegal immigration is. The "medical marijuana" clinics would be completely unecessary. Struggles for legalization would be a waste of time, much like the struggle for amnesty for illegals now is actually in the way of illegal immigration. What do they need amnesty now for? Becoming a citizen would be just some other irritating thing to put up with while romping around in somebody else's country.
