You want to pay a cop to write the law? Put it under their seal, the one they use to exercise police powers? Sure, other people vote on it. But it stinks.

  Their point is that it's just about as old as the laws here, and that you can still have effective legislation even if it's primed for corruption. You could make the same argument about most American systems of government, but pointing and saying corruption could exist is not the same as showing how it does.

    Participating and writing are a bit different things.

      Not in the case of police unions

      If you wish, feel free to tack on "(up to, and including, writing them wholesale)" to my comment.
