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.

Platon designed a system. We never listened him.

Tell me you didn't go to law school with one meme.

Law school is not the place for police.

I was absolutely questioning shit at that age.

I remember being 5yo and asking my mom while police cars could drive through red lights with no lights on, while we had to wait.

At least there is a legitimate reasoning for your question.

I think most "my kid made an interesting observation" stories sound fake, but this checks out for me.

When kids think of a "law man" they probably think of sheriffs and cops. When a kid overhears an adult mention "law school" they probably think it's where a "lawman" went to school.
