"Oh, I don't know. They can be adequately judged against the laws on the books."

“Oh, I don't know” is a polite way of saying I don't agree with you.

An analogy is the police taking your car away because you have liquor in your house...you might yourself or someone else.

Though certain copsuckers view any police action as prudent and appropriate.
