In this day and age, all officers should have instant access to the full body of the law. While the current state of the body of law prohibits anyone from knowing or understanding any significant portion of it, if an officer suspects that an act violates a law, the officer should be able to look it up in the cruiser or on an issued tablet to be certain. An officer should be allowed to hold a person just long enough to look up the law before selecting a specific statute that the officer is claiming the suspect violated. Expanding on this, it should be required that at least one specific statute be selected on the officer's computer before a ticket or fine can be issued or a person's condition be changed from "detained" to "arrested".
All that needs happen is that something gets broken in a session of the senate. They were participating in a gathering in which something was broken (a riot), and so all their assets are forfeit.
You need to show people that there are consequences for things like perjury, otherwise they'll keep doing things like this. "I was just following orders" is no excuse.
Mechanical automation replaces human muscles. After the industrial revolution humans were still far more efficient and capable at mental tasks, and so were employed to manage the machines. Computational automation replaces human brains. When a machine can perform the mental / computational parts of a job as well as the physical / mechanical parts, and perform all of those better, faster, and more efficiently than any human, what do you have left to offer? Your argument amounts to "We've never had this problem in the past therefore we can never have it in the future." This time is different.
Yeah, now I'm imagining a Nike sponsored suicide hotline.
But seriously, if simple three word phrases can be trademarked after prior art and defended like this, why don't we trademark some key phrases in the DMCA takedown notice and then litigate them every time they issue one?
If you leave a loaded gun on a playground you'll be held criminally liable when someone gets hurt. Why should these device manufacturers be treated any different?
