You are missing the distinction between motives and excuses. It might be impracticable to dedicate all available law enforcement resources to the eradication of paedophilia. But a conscientious constable could opt to lock up a prominent paedophile distinguished from the rest by his atrocious fashion sense, if not his racialist demagoguery. In this way, law enforcement would foster the collateral benefits of suppressing bad taste and promoting good manners.
