Comment Re:Let Them (Score 1) 1123

Any system which relies on a particular assumption to be true (and remain true) needs to be designed so as to create the greatest possibility of that assumption holding true.

In this case, that should mean making the police aware that they are being watched, that their behaviour is being monitored, that certain behaviours are unacceptable, and that there will be consequences if they engage in those behaviours. Since those safeguards are not being supported by the courts, they are making it increasingly more likely that their base assumption will disappear entirely.

Fundamentally, you can't build any system on top of a set of assumptions and then rely on blind hope to make those assumptions true - or worse, actively work to erode them.
