You weren't being asked to enforce a rule, you were being asked to determine if a rule has been violated.
- sarchertech 3y agoWhether a rule has been violated is a meaningless concept outside of the context of enforcement. Natural language itself must be interpreted within a context.

- sarchertech 3y agoCourts consider the context of enforcement, and police both decide whether something is a violation as well as handling enforcement. And at least in the US generally you need to have been harmed, or be likely to be harmed by enforcement of a rule to even have standing to challenge it.
