I don't think spot checking ID badges at the pools promotes a false sense of security. I think it just means that some, but not all, violators get caught.
How is that different from the way public roadways are patrolled? Most of the time, speeders and those who run stop lights, etc. are not caught. They merely run the risk of being caught. In areas where traffic violations are numerous and/or cause accidents or impede traffic flow, patrols tend to be increased. It's just a matter of putting limited resources where they will do the most good.
I'm not saying enforcement could not be improved. However, just because enforcement isn't perfect doesnt mean it's either unjustified or unhelpful. I'm glad that badges are at least spot checked.
