Because law enforcement does not study and enforce the law it's okay to break the law?

I think that on occasion many of us break a motor vehicle law; roll through a stop sign, speed, forget to signal, etc. My understanding of the topic here (and it's been brought up before) is the repeated disregard for stop signs and other laws by cyclists.

Bottom line: There simply aren't enough law enforcement personnel to catch and ticket everyone breaking a law. If someone rolls through a stop sign it doesn't get a lot of attention but when 20 bicycle ride through a stop sign at full speed it catches the eye. And unfortunately the odds are in the cyclist favor - there won't be any law enforcement there to stop them.
