Its the concept of making more rules and putting unaccountable people in charge of enforcing them, and incentivizing them to find ways to enforce them, regardless of whether it is sensible or even moral to do so.

Its all the same thing, just different sets of rulebooks and sometimes different sets of actors.

This is far from an isolated incident btw. Just since the victim here happened to be a well known and popular darling of the left, it actually got some media play... though not until his untimely and unfortunate demise of course.

You cannot take any group of people, give them vast powers to wield in the pursuit of enforcement of massive sets of often vague and arbitrary rules, shield them from any real outside accountability, and reward them for finding ways to wield the rules.... and expect good behavior. It does not matter if they work for the modern USA Govt, or a medieval church. The same results will be had every single time.

You would think we would have learned this by now.
