Is this a far better way of getting the law you want? Well, yes and no. On the one hand, it would reflect precisely what the janta (not junta and therefore steering clear of recent controversy) may actually want. I think that the average citizen would actually be pretty non-frivolous and fair when it comes to submitting his own draft Police Code.
On the other hand, legislation drafting is a serious matter requiring some skill and perhaps best left to the bureaucrats. No doubt, India's staunch civil service would never allow it. All that we get to do is write critical papers reviewing proposed legislation and even those are barely publicised. (On the other hand, considering the quality of some of the legislation I've studied - see esp. Land Laws, Sem VIII - I dare say a bunch of drunks hooligans trying to get themselves a loophole in the law may actually be more subtle than the blatant doors that are left in many of the laws)

u know it was only when i went to england that i realised that junta was a spanish word and had nothing to do with janta and is actually pronounced 'hoon-ta'. i still say 'jun-ta' in my head though but have to correct myself in public.
did u watch the rugby today? i sacrificed it for your brother. but the kiwis and aussies here are planning to watch the QF onwards on a big screen, so that has made me happy. i will be the random brown skinned girl there :)
