Police don't do anything after the fact. The problem is with attorneys general and/or judges either not prosecuting people or giving them too light of sentences. All police do is arrest and collect evidence, and they're generally even more frustrated by the problem than most people.

Depends a lot on where you live. My village is pretty fresh cuz I update it lol. My impression is that it's quite good in western Europe, might take a month in major US cities, and probably years old in most other places. I think Indonesia, Israel, and Japan are decent as well.

You can buy bottles of ink on Amazon. Tank printers, jerryrigging, and people refilling cartridges have all been decently common for a long time, so there are plenty of random companies selling it.

No, if they violate a clearly defined right, you can often still sue them individually, although that's usually suboptimal as the government has deeper pockets.

Where you order ingredients doesn't take away from the preparation and cooking.

Pushing a button and having a machine turn those ingredients into a final product does eliminate its specialness.

Also, I still haven't found a clipboard manager that works normally on Wayland.

And I rarely get it to recognize all my monitors first try. And it crashes semi-regularly.

Not sure how much is inherent to Wayland vs Gnome, but life is way better since I upgraded to Xlibre & Cinnamon.

To be honest, I don't use it at all professionally except I guess transcription or search engine summaries to point me to actual documents. I mostly come across it when a client makes a contract or legal memo on his own and sends it to me to review. If I'm drafting a lease or a trust or whatever, I already have forms that cover everything they need, have been used thousands of times, and can be easily tweaked as needed cuz I half have them memorized at this point.

I can't imagine using them for a court filing. Those are either so short that they're trivial or they require painstaking research, precision, and often citations for every single sentence.

As an attorney, I feel like vetting AI output takes longer than just doing it from scratch, let alone versus just using a traditional form.

With AI, I have to read through everything, often explain why it's wrong, and then rewrite everything anyways. I mean, I get way more billables, but I think it's symptomatic of how AI loses its advantage of being quick and accessible to those who don't understand the subject matter.

This is true in some states, like Texas; but not in Delaware where Disney is incorporated and where directors and officers owe fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to both the corporation and the shareholders.
