An old story - the gangsters of Chicago were eventually caught on tax evasion. There's some real value to this practice - after all, what ethical problem is there in arresting someone for one crime vs another, if they are guilty of both?

You end up transferring the penalties for more serious crimes onto lesser ones. If you're using jaywalking because you can't do someone for murder, soon enough if you're jaywalking you may as well kill whoever pisses you off while you're about it.
