Naturally the police don't enforce all laws or all infractions -- does this
have anything to do with the debate on whether the laws are moral or not?

It is true, however that if:

a) Property is misappropriated

b) Real monetary value is involved

c) Enforcement is possible at a reasonable cost

then it is the duty of the police to protect that property.
