Let's use a roller coaster analogy.
- The Super Racer 3000 requires riders be 48" to ride the coaster.
- The rules aren't enforced so people under 48" ride the ride with impunity.
- To show it's serious, the park increases the ride height requirement to 52".
The problem is that it doesn't matter if it's 48", 52", or 2" because it's not enforced...they are just changing words on a page. Anything short of...
IF YOU COMMIT A CRIME ON DUTY WE ARE NOT GOING TO DEFEND YOU, WE WILL LOCK YOUR ASS UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY....YOU'RE THE POLICE, BE BETTER.
...is lip service.
