Teach them that law school is about finding loopholes, studying court precedent, and writing legal correspondence

They only learn the laws that have fines/generate revenue for the county/state, or that give them the ability to physically harm someone. The amount of times I have seen a cop run a stop, turn/merge without signaling, or speed without the lights or siren on has taught me that.

Just because it's always been that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly dumb.

Platon designed a system. We never listened him.

The average layman has an incredibly naive understanding of the legal system. Police should have to learn all the laws? My guys, even lawyers aren't expected to learn all the laws by heart, the American legal code is insanely complicated.

Law school teaches the interpretation and implementation of the legal code, it's largely irrelevant to the role of police as law enforcement. Police go to the police academy to learn skills that are relevant to their role as the logistical apparatus that enacts the decisions of the legal system.

Similarly, nurses don't have to go to medical school or learn the biological details about various medical conditions. Instead, they go to nursing school and focus more on practical skills that they utilize to support and enact the decisions of the doctor.

Construction workers don't have to go to architecture or engineering school 😅

And so on.
