No entity can police itself. Not even the police.

Companies, non-profits, regulators, legislative branches of government, courts, presidential administrations, corporate bureaucrats, government bureaucrats, entrepreneurs, regular citizens. They cannot self-police.

That's the motivation for having a system of _checks and balances_[a]: We want power, including the power to police, to be distributed in a society.
