It is why jaywalking is an example I use. Jaywalking in a of itself poses no danger to anyone, but doing it when streets are crowded and cars are flying is. So if someone is jaywalking at 3:00 am on an empty street, there is no point at writing a ticket for it. However, if it happens at noon on St. Patty's day and causes 3 cars to come to skidding stops, discretion would say that is a violation of the law consistent with why there is a law.

That is the discretion every person of authority in every aspect of life uses to make decisions.

Just for clarification as some truly wrestle with this - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 08:09:53
     That's not what the Constitution says. - ummmm MU - 3/30 10:27:31
          There is a system set to determine the constitutionality of - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 10:31:45
               Read the constitution - pickle MU - 3/30 11:11:33
               There isn't a system. Determination of constitutionality - ummmm MU - 3/30 10:34:08
     so: - 90Tiger STL - 3/30 08:56:34
          I cannot think of any people in positions of authority - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 09:02:07
               gvmt, and specifically cops, aren't private citizens working - 90Tiger STL - 3/30 09:04:01
                    There is no position of authority where the proper use of - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 09:05:43

                              No law can ever do that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 09:14:05
                                   you can’t argue both law and order and selective application - pickle MU - 3/30 09:20:26
                                        100% accurate. - kmawv8 MU - 3/30 10:08:59
                                             Maintaining order has nothing to do with rigid and - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 10:17:33
                                                  BTW...most of the arguments - meatiger MU - 3/30 10:22:26
                                                       While true, he also purposely misuses "Law & Order" - kmawv8 MU - 3/30 10:25:43
                                                  You refused to acknowledge the actual definition of the - kmawv8 MU - 3/30 10:21:45
                                                       No, it means you enforce the law to the degree it maintains - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 10:29:11
                                                            I have and they don't agree with you. - kmawv8 MU - 3/30 10:32:15

                                   elections to law enforcement officers are just like judges - meatiger MU - 3/30 09:17:46
                                        And again, we get the government and elected officals - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 09:24:12
                         "proper use of discretion" - meatiger MU - 3/30 09:10:21
                              No, and I would be willing to bet it is grounded in a - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 09:11:37

                                        It is impossible for him to be consistent - meatiger MU - 3/30 09:19:15
                                             he defers to any perceived authority - pickle MU - 3/30 09:21:14
                                                  That is because he is treated well by such authority - meatiger MU - 3/30 09:22:42
                                   red herring and ad hom; a laydown (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 3/30 09:12:59
                                        Reality is not an ad hom - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 09:14:57
                                             it was an ad hom, regardless of its accuracy, 4Tigs. Do - 90Tiger STL - 3/30 09:19:24

          It is one means of maintaining order - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/30 08:35:29
