Public offenses may be prevented by the intervention of the officers of justice:
1.By requiring security to keep the peace;
2.By forming a police in cities and towns, and by requiring their attendance in exposed places;
3.By suppressing riots.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
