Why?
There is an arguable rationale for the statement "you shouldn't be the one overseeing the problems you've identified". It is, simply, that these things are best left to the police, who ordinarily enforce them. You might disagree with that rationale (and it seems you do given the second sentence in the above quote), but it's not bad advice to leave enforcing laws to the police - in fact, it applies more broadly to other behaviour in society. That rationale does not apply to unwritten rules of the road that are generally not dealt with by police.
Because of this, there is
by definition no hypocrisy in what Enoch is saying, whether you agree with him or not. Hypocrisy is what you accused him of. All I did was point out that this was wrong.
