| Nov 8, 2020 at 3:42 | comment | added | zibadawa timmy | @user6726 Can you cite precedent? Laws are always applied in a discretionary, and therefore at least semi-random, way. Usually the bigger issue is when they are selectively not complied with: e.g. applying them with vigor to minorities but not to whites. | |
