"You don't get to do a little crime, as a treat"

Why not? I much prefer a society in which I can get away with some crimes to one where every crime is prosecuted.

Discretionary enforcement is just used as a way to disguise discrimination

Perhaps our laws would be fairer and simpler if enforcement were draconian and uniform

Only a minuscule portion of actual crime comes to the attention of the state.

Very interesting spectrum you’re suggesting

Better a potentially discriminatory society I'm the ingroup in, than a totalitarian utopia where every criminal rule is enforced mercilessly.
