Usually if you publicly declare you won't do your job, you lose that job within the day.

I am going to publicly declare that I'm no longer paying my parking tickets. Also bankruptcy.
Also I'm the mayor of St. Louis now. Since we can just decide what the laws are personally without any sort democratic process weighing in.
I’ve heard of jury nullification, but I haven’t heard of police nullification.
This isn't unprecedented. Years ago, in Colorado, most of the sheriff's offices refused to enforce a law governing magazine capacities, functionally nullifying the law.
Would you nullify police? I'd nullify police.
He should quit then
Utah seems like such a cool place! /s
Utah is a beautiful state, except for where the people are.
This is a perfect explanation of the state.
Very true!
Why is a law needed for this? Do they have a law to not park cars on park or school playgrounds?
Meh, laws. Why? Like… murder yeah I guess but parking. I’m tired.
Edit: this should have been “…” -police chief
I'm confused. Are you suggesting that this is a bad or unnecessary law?
I should have made it sound like a quote from the police guy. My intention was to mock him. Reading it again I can see how you were confused. I do appreciate you not screaming at me first!
😂
Ok that was clever, actually.
Soon: Utah copies New York, allowing pedestrians to report parking violations via photo for cash.
