speaking of "legal opinions", here's one for you. the word or term
"POLice" literally means "POLicy enforcement". they enforce policies
which are dictated by POLiticians. other policies "might" get
enforced, i.e. such as "store policy", especially if the local POLiticians
own a bundle of stock in the company store.
