Yup, that's part of the issue.
Essentially we're in a world where we have rules, but how they are enforced, used, interpreted, is a huge judgement call. I mean, there's always going to need some level of interpretation, because those who author the rules aren't perfect. But the rules are frequently written with a heavy disconnect when it comes to said enforcement. So each and everyone of us is taught to start interpreting them in our own individual ways (and "us" includes the cops). That doesn't scale so hot at several hundreds million people+

And in the latter, the agencies investigate themselves, so unless it’s big enough to sue them in court, you won’t create change. And they know that: create lots of little problems for the public, and you can get away with it.
