It's unfortunate but people running for office are so anxious to get their name/face/message out, they use behaviors that they would normally criticize when done by other people or for other activities. Legislators have exempted themselves from the 'do-not-call' rules. Public servants are afraid to remove illegally placed signs to avoid political retribution.
I guess you can call it 'situational entitlement.' Myself, I consider it a form of corruption but I can't think of a practical way to stop it.
