I’m not sure that the police are being given a choice in this matter.
Of course they have a choice. They can quit.
They always have a choice.
I was just following orders
You always have a choice. The question is, are you willing to accept the consequences of that choice?
The police enforcing this “law” will, sooner or later, have to make the next choice....and the next choice.....and the next choice. Each becoming a little easier to rationalize.
When they begin taking people from their homes and hauling them in, a few will realize that they should have exited the slippery slope at the beginning. Most will not. They will stick with the “just following orders” defense.
So, the real question is not, will the police enforce said law(s), it is will be people force-ably resist?
Make no mistake, the slippery slope exists for both sides.
