>Here’s how that would play out: You’re the only store manager out of all of the chain to have this policy.
The parent post specifically says that it wold be company policy, so that wouldn't apply.

The same power structure exists irrespective of where you jump into the value chain - The police are a legal gang that goes all the way to the President
Instead of the Mayor, the Sheriff will go to some State Rep or congressperson and the same results happen.
I've seen similar moves play out in the past in real life
Corruption and bending the rules will probably happen even with this system, but it raises the barrier, and if it's inconvenient enough, it will be only done for the most important cases.
If every local sheriff can intimidate and bully a local pharmacist to get the information it's very different than if you need a congress person to call in a favor with supposedly one of the few people who have access to the information.
