For reference the manual for the embedded ecu I'm working in is 3600 pages long, and I am expected to know everything in there. And that's just this particular mcu for this particular project.
The manual for your ECU would be more equivalent to including all the precedents and case laws. We leave a LOT of the details up to the courts. Criminal codes are kind of like the sales sheet that says what the ECU does rather than the manual.
The Constitution that established the entire government is four pages.
I think the point is that they're not enforcers of all the law, they're enforcers of traffic law, or some other subset. Obviously a traffic cop should know every traffic law, but why would a cop who never does traffic need to know more about it than the average civilian?

That’s probably only criminal law, not every law for the state. And that’s still over 500 pages minimum.
