Sure sounds like the public at large wants it to be legal here too....Actually, I don't think that follows. I suspect the public at large doesn't care about whether it's legal; they just want to be allowed to continue doing it (ie, lack of enforcement would be just as good).
Actually, if the law if going to be "not enforced" (because, say, the enforcement effort is not funded), then it should be repealed. Selective enforcement can lead to much greater abuses than simply enforcing the law fairly. If the JBTs want to 'harass' someone, then they can just selectively enforce a seldom enforced law...
