Exactly. So why not enforce this law, instead of the "law that shall not be mentioned".
IMO, it is kind of like the noise law for land vehicles (ie motorcycles). I know there is a noise law out there, but I also know that there are hundreds, if not thousands of motorcycles out on our roads that exceed the allowable limits.
