*sigh*


of course some "laws" are unimportant enough to not follow. this is why they are:

1) not enforced
and/or
2) classified as "infractions" (e.g. not even a lowly misdemeanor)
and/or
3) the butt of jokes and subject to derision

some examples in portland: performing a wedding ceremony at a skating rink, passing through a congested thoroughfare more than twice per night, possession of small amounts of marijuana, forgetting to pay a library/parking fine, jaywalking, and rolling a stop sign on a bike (this is correctly treated as a serious offence for a motorvehicle).
