Once I bumped into a cop and asked him the reason as to why the police was unable to tackle road rage among drivers. Answering my question, the cop said “We can enforce laws in states, not in souls”.
What would best explain the meaning of the cop's words?

A
You can check outward expression, not the thinking of people.
💡 Explanation:
'Laws cannot be enforced in souls' means you cannot check what one thinks; only what one does when it trespasses the law. It best means that you cannot check the thinking of people, only its outward expression.
