As to Latecia and others, who like this body of law, it was Henry Kissinger, that devilishly handsome and sexy guy (!!), who said "Power is the ultimate aphrodesiac". All guys need is a Gendarmerie jacket, a Boy Scout hat, and an attitude, and whoopee! the babes are all over you! Wish I had known all these years.
