The government doesn’t have the manpower to police that effectively. And it never will. That’s the opposite of “efficient.” The people with the necessary skills to enforce it have lots of other, higher priority things to police, like making sure that cars are roadworthy and gas isn’t being watered down.
As an example, in the early days of the pandemic when we were trying to make sure bars complied with social distancing rules, NYS started trying to recruit police officers to go around checking venues. They offered a lot of overtime. Guess how many people at my agency signed up for that detail?
