Any law can be misused - why pick on RIPA especially? And while the
GAK part hasn't even got a draft Code of Practice, speculation is
moot.

Because fining pavement cyclists just isn't in the same league. Also, does
a code of practice stop it being misused, or merely enable people to feel
justifiably upset when it's disregarded in their case?

As with all things, the existence of a rule gives society a benchmark to
judge transgressors against.
