I have heard that in America the police sometimes fine people for driving at the speed limit because they’re driving too slowly. It’s an absolute farce.
A law that everyone breaks is a law that the police can choose to prosecute anyone for, for any reason. A law that you can be prosecuted for not breaking means you can’t even escape being targeted.
In fairness I also didn’t feel like I was reading eyewitness accounts of this kind of thing so maybe it doesn’t actually happen (or almost never, or did in the past but no longer)

I’ve only ever heard of this in a generic sense. I’ve never seen evidence of a specific case. I don’t think it’s real
