Well, there is a difference between felony and misdemeanor (wikipedia said that these definitions are not used anymore).
Eating a french fry in the metro could land you a fine, but not jailtime....in a normal country. If this girl really got handcuffed I would serious consider emigrating.
But selective enforcement is more normal than you might think. I think on average a person gets one traffic violation fine for every 1000 or more offences he commits (1 in 1000 is just my estimate.....based on personal experience....and I am a very careful driver)....and still people complain.
Nothing wrong with the law that you can't go faster than 65 though.
