The rules are for real people, not cops.
I'd bet the tow truck drivers would be in hot water themselves if they weren't complicit in that scenario.
What they call law enforcement is no more or less than the most well funded and credible distributor of violence and intimidation on the local level.
Law and policing exist to protect the property of the rich, as that excerpt lays out plainly. The rest if fluff to help legitimize them by appealing to emotions or axiology.
I'd say you are pretty spot on...thanks for dropping in and reading and commenting.
