I’m pretty sure there’s a Supreme Court ruling that says Sheriffs are allowed to set priorities in enforcement at their discretion, so the enforcement of any given law is largely up the local Sheriff and what the voting populace will accept from them
Edit: and of course with funding pressures that mostly vary by state, but those aren’t normally tied to stats on cases cleared
