    I thought the main point of the tattletale laws was to avoid judicial review. An important part of that is to establish who has standing. If the law was enforced directly by the AG, then people could sue the office directly if they think the enforcement violated their rights. But since these laws are enforced by nosy neighbors, there is no one central body to sue to review it. They’ve essentially insulated these laws from ever having a judge rule they are invalid.
