What if we had ISP police?

Cops to track what people did on the internet, checking every image to ensure it's not pornographic, or every transaction online, to ensure it's not criminal!

Sounds great! Let's just start by rolling out the program to target elected officials and their families as a trial. If every congressional or senate representative wants to undergo a few years of scrutiny to make sure the system works well, maybe the people will follow gladly.

Welcome to CCP China!
Sorry, the point I am trying to make, is bullshit laws should be tested on the group of people advocating and passing those laws, because maybe they wouldn't like the law when it applies to them.
This reminds me of a voting method I've seen some anarchists advocate for: the rules passed by votes should only be enforced on those who voted for it.
