I’ve heard of jury nullification, but I haven’t heard of police nullification.

Definitely not a new thing, at least. The practice is called selective enforcement.

This isn't unprecedented. Years ago, in Colorado, most of the sheriff's offices refused to enforce a law governing magazine capacities, functionally nullifying the law.
