They probably do not give a flying fig if you question it, so long as you don't
insist (like some in here) that they change it or ignore it.  Remember:  their job
is to enforce it - - the citizen's job (if they don't agree) is to change it.

Bad laws should be changed, not resisted.  Get people off their lazy asses and do
something--protest, petition, etc.  If you get enough people involved, change is
inevitable.  Resisting and challenging cops just makes you look like dimwits.
