> Police will look the other way as long as you don't force their hand.
They usually don't need to look the other way because people will do it secretly not talk about it openly and most people by a mile would never even use it (because it is illegal and most people don't want to do illegal stuff unless it's necessary and it is not necessary)
You don't need to enforce laws strictly to create an obedient population that does not dare think, you just need to have those laws and do a few show trials
