Um, yes? Law enforcement folks have been getting around all sorts of nice-words-on-paper rules for thousands of years. Anybody who's worked retail knows that "but the rule book says!" won't magically stop employees from breaking the rules. You have to have actual supervision, and a competent management structure that cares about the rules actually being followed. But if the employees are "police", most people's brains go into Santa Claus mode - where mere reality is no match for their Will To Believe that no policeman could ever be on the Naughty list, and flying reindeer prevent Bad Things from ever happening, and that they'll never-ever-ever need to pay attention to what's really going on in that wonderful elven toy factory at the North Pole.
