>Law does not exist outside of interpretation. So I'm not very sure how a storage device would help. You answer your own question with this line: >You should read some "cases". I assume you expect me to look these up on some digital storage medium. >In any practical situation, you're not going to have all the facts While true in the abstract, it's rather dishonest to apply this concept to the case in the article. Police departments won't send people totally nonversed in phlebotomy law to collect blood samples unless they are not doing their job correctly. If they are not doing their job correctly, they deserve reprimand and correction. There's a reason that jurisdictions exist. It is to prevent those who have not studied the particulars of a subset of legal code to exercise power in the absence of comprehension of that subset.

> There's a reason that jurisdictions exist. It is to prevent those who have not studied the particulars of a subset of legal code to exercise power in the absence of comprehension of that subset. I can see why you might think that but jurisdictions exist because law is power, and the ability to use power like the law does only exists in particular geographic locations. It is an artifact of the fact that law has always been abused, and continues to be, first and foremost by the governments themselves (just try to get a judge to rule against an incumbent telco and compare the results with them ruling against a corner store or market stall. You'll be amazed). That such abuse exists makes it a necessity to fight over it. That, and of course the rewards that can be reaped by doing this. > It is to prevent those who have not studied the particulars of a subset of legal code to exercise power in the absence of comprehension of that subset. No police officer has more than a basic introduction to tiny parts of the law.
