How? By force? Is the physical application of force by government agents warranted for a low-level non-violent crime? Do you think the officers don't realize the personal criminal and civil liability that the application of such force in these or similar circumstances would be? Not to mention the vilification in the media and by protest groups outside their homes.

Easy to say "Make the police make them do it or leave" because it seems that easy on television. Much more complex in the real world.

Law enforcement: The only job everyone in the world thinks they know how to do better than those that actually do it.
