If it’s not enforced, then people will try and get away with things.
-
Write the law so everyone breaks it…
-
Don’t enforce the law generally
-
Selectively enforce it on anyone you don’t like.
Lik, I remember my time in SC (years ago) and a lot of the bars had huge lists posted outside about what type of things violate dress code. And the last was usually “bouncer discretion”.
And I’m sure you can imagine what the people who stereotypically wear the stuff on the list looked like.
It didn’t take long for me to notice lots of people who violated the rules were still able to come in, and we rarely saw anyone who wasn’t white in any bar that had the list.
The “dress code lists” were just a way to say the reason some people weren’t let in was their race.
