Text
No, it is not my opinion. The Pledge of Office is clear that you pledge:
"to uphold the rule of law ... including support for policing and the courts".
You have abolished your support for them all. Have the police been in contact with you yet about your lawbreaking ? If not, are you prepared to offer yourself to them for questioning?
