In an ideal world, you would be right.
In a world where I don't have the clout of a PPU or other public sector employees union, and I can't buy some laws, a person has to improvise.
Practical politics are difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. (And just to be clear. I do not belong to any law enforcement union. They mostly make me wanna puke.)
If we do things your way (IF I understand you, and I maybe I don't) we will be working AWAY from police professionalism and toward a spoils system. Individual LEOs will only work as LEO when the legislature, executive, and (especially)judiciary are dominated by people with whom they agree. Every change of administration will mean that a bunch of LEO's will quit since they are in your view, rightly held hostage to the public's reaction to their lawful execution of lawful orders lawfully given blah blah blah... If I have to pay for something with which you disagree by putting my family's safety and financial security on the table (more than it already is)I'm going to make damn sure it's something I agree with.
When a judge makes a conviction sometimes it is my duty to book, cuff, search, and lock up the convict. Are you REALLY saying that when I disagree with the judge I should refuse to do that? And that when YOU disagree with the judge, if I do my duty I should have my name and address published so that people who disagree with the judge can call me up at Zero dark thirty to make their feelings known and to offer hypotheses as to the canine portion of my genetic heritage and possibly inappropriate relations between me and my sainted mother?
Yesterday I was at a trial where a pissy little snot of a 19 year old was tried for underage possession of alcohol, possession of marijuana, driving a vehicle with expired registration and defective equipment, driving under the affluence of inkahol, and resisting arrest. Judging by the evidence and his demeanor, I think the little twerp should have spent the weekend in the pokey -- a little wakey wakey call for him.
If I am NOT to enforce the laws or judgements with which I disagree when they are too harsh, do I at least get to lock this little snot-head up because I think the judge was too lenient?
Woah! I could get to like this! (No, not really. Jail is nasty.)
