I agree with gp's sentiment, but I think police and prosecutors don't currently have enough resources to prosecute every infraction. I fear, however, that this is largely a function of technological advancement. China is already charging drivers for their traffic infractions by withdrawing the fine from their digital (WeChat?) wallets before they finish their commute.
I doubt there's a lawyer alive that has read all of the statutes that govern me in the jurisdictions I'm currently in (and all of the applicable caselaw that defines the jurisprudence and interpretation of those statutes).
You seem to be arguing the ability and likelihood of a guilty plea/verdict against someone winning in court (and the risk of the prosecutor's reputation for spending). That's a high burden compared to simply being objectively guilty (from a "God's eye view"). The difference is the gray area of interpretation, the burden of proof (especially when it comes to motives and state-of-mind).
