What that means, invariably, is that they will be enforced less against the politically connected and more on those without friends in high places.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Many of these enforcement mechanisms are highly network dependent.
People who are themselves less networked (e.g. less online, spending more time in rural areas or spaces with less cameras) are more likely to be overlooked by these enforcement mechanisms.
To understand this a bit better, consider how much more likely someone who owns a car is to receive traffic tickets from cameras than is than someone who does not.
