What happens when governments interpret and make up law by whim

The Illinois comptroller will stop collecting red light camera fines. However, unless the secretary of state follows suit, violators won’t be able to renew driver licenses at renewal time, leading to driving without a license fines. Where does it leave citizens when the enforcement voice of the state speaks with conflicting messages?
The bigger issue is government entities interpreting and making up law by whim. How are citizens supposed to navigate life where one arm of government nullifies enforcement of a law, but cannot cause another agency to nullify it? What does it say when federal law is in conflict with some of the states but not all of the states?
For example, if you partake of a controlled substance because a state as a subordinate jurisdiction offers it to you (because they tax it), you put yourself in violation of a superior federal jurisdiction that can restrict your rights because you have violated its prohibition of the controlled substance.
Government entities could determine unified authority. Libertarians will read a troubling assumption of state authority built into that proposal. There is also an implied states rights concept that leaves states free to determine their own policies as laboratories of democracy.
Conclusive answers are elusive but a hallmark of too much regulation is when regulation becomes too confusing for citizens to keep up with and abide by. When government jurisdictions and entities cannot make up their minds, they should step back and observe before they seek control by enforcement of any kind.
