My school freely allows bicycles, but this one doesn’t. How are you to know which schools are which? In practice you probably can’t, meaning you’ll find out when your bike is confiscated (or they decide to taze you for having an “unlicensed bicycle”). Or when you step outside the magic “free speech zone”. Or when you face the consequences for travelling to certain Middle Eastern countries and wear the wrong clothing. The state officials gain the power to decide who is a law-breaker and who is a law-abider by selective enforcement of their decrees.
