Watchmen at buildings, residences and car parks are, in my experience, some of the greatest purveyors of power plays. My power-play-biased mind interprets each watchman’s smirk as: “I hold the power to open or close this gate. You cannot come in unless I open it. You will recognise that power and kiss the ring of the askari gods before I let you in.”
Do you know who else holds power? A government regulatory authority. That power should be used judiciously so that the recipients of the regulatory authority’s services understand the objective of that use of power. What is the mischief that the rules and regulations are trying to cure?
