If laws can't or shouldn't be enforced, get rid of them! That way it's out in the open.

From Robin's recent response it seems obvious that he is talking about rules in the sense of what people find agreeable. I imagine that Hanson would be more likely to consider a cop pulling over someone driving 66mph in a 65mph zone out of boredom to be "rule-bending" than a cop who, even upon explicit instruction from superiors or the law, chooses to ignore people who drive 66 in a 65 zone because the socially accepted "rule" is that people will drive at or slightly above the de jure speed limit and that police officers will not hassle people for minor violations.
