It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Never expect the bastards to know the laws they’re supposed to be enforcing.

The courts have ruled that the police need not know the law to enforce it, in Heien v. North Carolina. However they also hold that ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it for those of us that are subject to it, Ignorantia juris non excusat. So the public is expected to be more aware of legal minutia than the "trained" enforcers of that law.

It makes sense to a certain degree. Even lawyers are specialized and don't know all the entirety of the law.

This means that police has to be trained and supervised more because they essentially don't know what they're doing.

Rules for thee, but not for mee.
