Running a yellow light is probably a good example. Technically illegal, but rarely enforced. (https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90h08#s144s31p2).
The way the yellow light rule is written ("... if it's possible to stop safely") makes it very hard to enforce, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were zero tickets issued for this. Running red lights is enforced, but it still happens far too often.
