Well, we have to pay to do a course in the Act and Regs.
SAPS have "on the job training".
Some people valiantly tried to get regulations in place to force SAPS DFOs to also pass a test on the law but SAPS didn't fall for that -- maybe it would have been too expensive for them (but we must pay) or maybe they figured most of them would fail.
If members of the public jumped up and down about it, things would have turned out differently.
But as some bright fellow said, you get the government you deserve.
