This means to not enforce laws, particularly where the enforcement may have counterproductive results.

It is often used to describe the British policy of leniency in dealng with trade matters in the American colonies. This refers to the British not strictly enforcing parliamentary laws to keep the colonies obedient.
the british policy of leaving the american colonies alone.
