Unenforced law
An unenforced law (also symbolic law) is a crime which is illegal, but is usually not penalized by a jurisdiction. It is a law which is usually ignored by law enforcement, therefore such laws have no consequences.〔Modern criminal law; Wayne R. LaFave; P 53〕 Some people have criticized such laws claiming that it indicates sometimes the law means what it says, sometimes it doesn't.〔(Teenage kissing: The new sex crime? ) BBC retrieved 29 January 2012〕
==Overview==
My law may be put in place simply for symbolic reasons, but without actual prosecutions taking place.〔(The legal system: a social science perspective ) retrieved 29 January 2012〕 For example speeding is illegal, but patrol officers usually ignore motorists who are 5-10 miles an hour over the legal limit.〔(Law Without Values: The Life, Work, and Legacy of Justice Holmes ) retrieved 29 January 2012〕 Automate ticketing systems like computerized cameras will still issue fines in these circumstances in some but not all US states.〔http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/15750/what-is-the-right-level-for-speed-camera-fines/〕
Although incest is illegal in many European countries, it is generally not enforced if between two consenting adults.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geschwisterpaar bringt Inzest-Verbot ins Wanken )〕
Laws which are symbolic typically attempt to persuade rather than enforce, punish or prevent.〔(Law as symbolic form ) Deniz Coskun〕〔(Prospective magazine ) retrieved 29 January 2012〕 An example is adultery in Colorado, where it is prohibited by law, but not punishable in any way.〔
