True; this ruling is useless without enforcement.
Who enforces the enforcemen?
I'm not sure. I don't blame the police totally. They are actually humans in an abusive system, too. Their departments dehumanize them to get them to do abusive stuff. And I have no idea what lever of the ones humans have self-discovered to pull on to make it so that they only do good.
I've actually written a bunch of journals about it uselessly. When I have discovered what I thought was just a cherry genius idea I pretty quickly find not only has it already been implemented in some departments ... it usually has been gamed into fraud by some broken police officers, too.
So I have no ideas but i still think and write about it. transcendence requires even the rudest and least of all the faithful, and most contemptible to very many to try to find a way.
eh, lets try that again.
