It has its own share of issues, but I’d argue that we have a lot fewer issues than most places. It’s part of our legal system though, that our police officers have a lot of discretion. I’d argue that strictly enforcing the photography laws would be a huuuuuge waste of police resources though. I mean, how would you really police it? They do in London due to anti-terrorist reasons, but only if you’re taking photos of thing some people might want to blow up.
Of course it has issues though. Not so much in the way you seem suggest here though.
They do occasionally do coordinated operations on usually enforced laws. Like set up control points at universities and check if all bikes passing by are legal. But they won’t regularly pull you over if you’re missing a reflex or similar, unless your bike is extremely unsafe.
