The analogy does work. Police are just there to help keep you in line with the law. If you kept a closer eye on your speedometer then you wouldn't be speeding.
I would imagine that there are not many people experienced with anti-trust monitoring since anti-trust monitoring is very rarely done, but there are a ton of lawyers out there with anti-trust experience.
The issue with Cote appointing a good buddy of hers to the job is that it give the appearance of a conflict of interest, something that judges are suppose to avoid.
