When I was a kid, I asked my parents for the book of laws. They looked at me like I was crazy
We learn our laws through gossip.
We are responsible for following them despite there being no practical way to learn them. Not even law school.
We enforce our laws at the discretion of the police department/city/state/federal government.
The police don’t know the law, and they’re allowed to arrest you because they think what you’re doing is illegal.
The government doesn’t know the law - there was a federal effort to count the number of federal crimes. We know there’s over 100k, because they gave up after 120k.
Laws do not have to be enforced. They’re usually left on the books - the only time laws are revoked are when there’s disagreement over if it should be enforced, or someone wants to make a show of it.
It’s an insane system.
But there’s someone in Seattle that ordered this, and they had no responsibility or duty to do so. And there’s someone (probably the mayor) who could order this to stop with a phone call
