Years ago, I was pulled over by police because a wet leaf was stuck on my licence plate. This pic was taken last week near Brantford. Daily, I would say 1/10 plates are illegible. Why is this law not being enforced?

I feel like this is a broken window thing: cops don’t enforce speed limits, so drivers feel entitled to hide their license plates from speed cameras.
Why don’t cops enforce driving laws? I would love to know why. I have a bunch of theories based on my biases, but I don’t have anything useful to say.
Oh they enforce speed limits, but only in places where they’re going to get lots of hits in short time to show how much work they do.
Ticketing for unsafe vehicles eg lighting, license plates, erratic driving, use of signals etc. is all too much work. Pretty much anywhere you go.
How is a license plate un safe?
Lighting, okay bulbs burn. Some times it’s 2 minutes into an hour long drive. You gona write some one a ticket from that? People hate cops enough as it is.
Use of signals? Okay the one time in 1000 where your finger didn’t quite catch the lever.
Erratic driving. Is enforced. Just because you see some one driving like a fuck doesn’t mean there is a convient cop each time that saw it too.
For starters, I’d like to know the plate number of the black ram when he tries to murder me for minding my own business in bike lane.
Wow. Well, unfortunately for you it won’t help. You can give the cops all the information about the vehicle you want. Unless they physically drag the driver out of the ram, they “can’t prove who the driver is” and nothing will come of it.
Yes, because we all let random people drive our trucks.
you’re expecting logic from cops, there is none.
