Sounds like America. Here the saying goes that it's only illegal if you get caught. Essentially, especially in civil laws, many things are technically illegal, but the laws are so poorly enforced that no one really takes them seriously. Quick example is the law against firing for whistleblowers. Technically, you can't do that, it's illegal to retaliate. In practice, the only way to win that case is to record your boss literally saying that you're being fired for reporting a violation of the law. Which does not happen, since the law doesn't require a cause to fire people.
