Ahm, no. Flicking you gum out the window *is* illegal. There is no
variation in the "legalese" here. What there is, however, is a
decision not to prosecute the crime being committed.
There's a huge difference in between how a law is interpreted and
whether or not it's enforced and upheld. Looking the other way is not
"interpreting it differently".
