Who gets to determine what "victimless" means? Drug addicts, murderers and arguably speeders all have a society cost.
Lets play this out. Its fascinating!

The police are certainly not equipped to make this judgment
They most certainly are not (hell, they aren't even lawyers!), but they are representatives of the courts, who do decide if the arrest or citation is valid. The police are merely soldiers for the court system. Arguing law, ethics and philosophy is not in their wheelhouse, so waging a war of law wit - however contrived - is ineffective. Better to live to fight the real battles, and those are in halls of the legislative, executive and judicial branches.
Or, just fuck it, and go all Mr. Robot on them. :)
if there is a harmed party that is willing to come forward and prove that they A: Have suffered a loss... and B: that you have caused this loss or harm... Then there is a victim.... HOWEVER. if the complaint comes from the state... it is void because the state is a dead entity and therefore has no right to make this claim... Only living beings can be a "party" in a legal proceeding.... Legal fictions... CAN NOT.
