In theory I might agree with you, but I doubt that cops would ever spend that much effort to protect other random citizens, and if it isn't universally applied enforcement for everyone it would be unfair to give judges preferential protection and could lead to even more class issues.

IMO, it would not be unreasonable to give important public officials preferential protection. Federal judges already have a special status and legal protection baked into the law. So, some must agree with me, at least.

Is this fair? It’s a good point, but I don’t consider it to be immediately relevant to the question of why police aren’t enforcing these protections.
