They are also Public Safety Officers, and Order Keepers in general.
These days, they're not always thought of as doing those latter things, and that's a sadness for me.
We would all do better if we remembered the multiple facets of their role, and tried to help them do more of these other things than always be put in positions of confrontation.
They were the right people to call for this situation. I hope the net punishment for this person's violations works out to be appropriate to their total condition, and not trapped in the letters of the law.
