Each to their own....but rules is da rules. If they are enforced, then if you break em don't moan. We all know that the police simply don't have enough man power to police everything so they do pick things that will be easier to enforce. Unfortunately that can mean other crimes will go unnoticed. We all do things like this in our day to day lives, we priortise based on knowledge, experience and more often that not, cost effectiveness. So why should the police do any different....
I recently drove around with an illegal number plate, as it had incorrect spacing. I purposely bought the plate, so I could do that....I went by for months and then got stopped twice in as many weeks. But did I sit there and try preaching to the police about how they should catch proper criminals or other people with even more illegal plates than mine? No. Because, you are never in the right as you've commited the offence in the first place. No matter how trivial you "perceive" it be.. Simplez. So, I took the fine and changed my plate. The coppers both times knew that is could have been worse, I wasn't speeding, drink driving, had a chavved up motor, bald tyres, illegal tints, but like they said. The law is the law, and if someone didn't enforce any of it, we would have anarchy.
I would suggest this topic get locked as its a very contentious issue and will never get resolved. We aren't gonna change the country, as much as we'd like to be able to, on a motorbike forum!
