@petebrown I like this thinking. Enforcement in this domain suffers from all the same pitfalls as enforcement in the financial domain. Both could be improved by this easy two pronged approach. (Prongs are always good in public policy).

First is to advance a campaign to make adherence to the law cool. If you can elevate the idea of civil enforcement as worthy of admiration, a demonstration of real skill and tenacity, then maybe you’ve got a foothold.

Second, write software that provides un-fudgeable and publicly inspectable records for the decision points that the electorate are entitled to know about. It is so simple a concept it buggers the imagination to actually vocalize it. In short, get a receipt, America.
