Just one question:
What is it that "doesn't need to be policed" and what "should they be doing"?
Who decides???? You????Me????
Ideal policing is to show up at the scene of a crime 30 seconds before it occurs, which is only possible in the movie "Minority Report"
Meanwhile, there are those, even on this site, that want the police to spend their time writing thousands of tickets for going 40 in a 35 zone or 21 mph in a golf cart. Oh, the horror, the horror. Should those people be deciding what the police "should be doing"? Or should they just hide under their beds?
The other extreme is anarchy, a la California and some of our larger cities.
Perhaps we should allow the professional law enforcement senior management to decide what policing activities to focus upon.
