Exactly, JJJ, but it is a sign that there is part of the population that doesn't respect laws, respect others, or respect the country.  The same is true for the guys sitting in Starbuck's smoking, right under the 'No Smoking' signs.  They know they can get away with it, because the police just can't be bothered dealing with offenders. 

Think about it, the police have passed all of their duties on to robots - the only things people get in trouble for are speeding and going through red lights, because you can build a maching to catch offenders.  The police probably can't be bothered charging offenders because they know that most people can phone-a-friend and get the penalty removed.
