That’s entirelly the mindset of the average car driver everywhere.
Were I am now, Portugal, when the police starts properly some rule of the road that’s regularly not obbeyed (like, say the no parking on sidewalks one or the no running red lights in the next 30s after it has turned from yellow one) those types start bitching and moaning about how the police are “hunting for fines” - in other words, admitting that they’re breaking the rules and claiming that the real problem is actually enforcing of the rules.
(By the way, unsurprisingly, Portugal is has one of the highest rates of road deaths in the whole of Europe).

They drive like maniacs there.
How many times I got hit by a mirror because you had to walk on the streets since all the cars parked on the footpath.
