Within 4 hours of announcing that a "purge night" was a thing, they would have to revise it to just call it "murder night" and even then, it will get further modified to "Murder of sanctioned people and groups night" and even THEN they will have to further amend it until it finally says "The police get to murder you night" and then they will want to remove the nightly restriction and then BAM you have what we have now.
Just like that, you have moved any books written about the Purge from fiction to non-fiction.
I haven't watched the movies in depth, but the premise alone speaks to me of a subtext that leads to this understanding about our world.
