As official lawlessness spreads, respect for the law understandably wanes. Why should we obey when they do not?
This double standard has existed for a long time – as for example in the case of the speed limit enforcers who routinely “speed,” with de facto legalized impunity – and who enforce “buckle up” laws that they themselves are similarly de facto exempted from. Their being no one to enforce these strictures upon the enforcers, themselves.
But it has gotten much worse.
