And that's right. What US needs here is not only softer laws, it's a whole mindset of flexibility with the law, like we have in more latin or corrupt countries: Tolerance with driving rules, tolerance with income tax workarounds, tolerance with violence on the street. I had a friend in France drop a complaint for fondling of his daughter by a teenager, the cop said the agressor was going to be merely told off in a meeting at the station, nothing more. I'm not saying this is the right middle-ground, but it implies a forgiving law framework.
That's called selective enforcement and has the effect of giving the police even more power. Since they're only selectively enforcing laws that many people are breaking they can choose to enforce them on you arbitrarily.
For example the speed limit on a major highway in Ontario is 100km/h however they average speed is probably closer to 120km/h because the police are selective with the speed enforcement. This means they can pull over basically anyone based on arbitrary criteria - what kind of car they drive or what they look like. It also means that the speed limit will never be changed legislatively because most drivers can just go 120km/h and be fine so there's no pushback.
I do hope you're not being serious, here -- your humor is a bit dry.
Strong rule of law is one of the defining hallmarks of a just and fair legal system. If a law is causing injustice, you repeal or rewrite it. You don't simply ignore or downplay it when it "feels" right.
