I guess the simple question is, is burning rubber illegal?

    That just calculates into whether you get pulled over or get a ticket. He specifically asked if it was breaking a law which has little to do with where the cop is a dick or not. Doesn’t technically even depend on the judge.

        Technically yes, especially since this was a technical question, he wasnt asking if he would get pulled over, he was asking if there was a law being broken. You probably wouldn’t get arrested for hooking your donkey to a post on main Street on a Sunday in Colorado springs, but if you asked if there was a law against it, the answer would be in the codified law, not in is likelihood of a cop knowing it.

          And yet with lack of enforcement it functionally does not exist even if it is written on some piece of paper

            That is true but pretty irrelevant. Is a law enforced is a completely different question from is it a law, and it’s not an insignificant degree of difference.

            That’s like someone asking if chocolate ice cream exists and you saying it’s possible no one likes it. Technically true but irrelevant to the question.
