I think you're referring to the concept of "Zero Tolerance" where municipal
enforcement is applied to minor offenses such as jaywalking and littering as
well as more serious crimes. It's a tactic which has also been adapted for
school systems in trouble. I think it's synonymous with the "broken window"
theory of law enforcement. I remember its becoming famous (or infamous)
during the Giuliani administration in NYC. Lots of pro/con info on the
internet.

Personally I think you missed the point a bit of that post a bit - I
think the use "Marshall Law" was ill-advised but the focus of the
post was really about bringing on the best posible talent to our
local police and having strict enforcement of existing laws
including quality of life offenses. I don't think the point was to
enforce curfews and suspending personal freedoms as is the essence
of Marshall Law. My guess is that was used more as a figure of
speech. The rest of the post below seems to be reasonable.
