No we don't.
Some woman stopped me the other day as I was patrolling and asked if I could help her get into her car. I gave her the options. 1. I smashe the window in with my asp and have a bloody good time doing it OR 2. She stops wasting my time and calls someone who does it properly.
People assume the police will sort everyone's lives out. No that's YOUR job. Sort out your own life, it says police on the side of my car, not socail worker.

It's the classic conflict: Civilians think coppers are public servants, while coppers think they're in charge of civilians.

| Civilians think police can do everything and anything.
Night before last - woman gets car window smashed. Group of 'twenty' kids nearby (it was 6 ffs!). "I want them all arrested"
"Why"
"Well it must be them"
"So you want me to arrest all 6 on the basis that you just think it's them?"
"Yes"
"No"
"Well I'm going to complain that you are not doing your job"
"Fine, you have no evidence for that either"
The large sway of the British public are extremely stupid and naive. I know colleagues who have been called to a 'domestic' and it's an argument over the washing. And the officer has been asked if they could collect the dry-cleaning to solve the problem. FFS!

| You're probably right... and of course the police force is made up of a large cross-section of society. So by that logic...

For a police officer your social skills could do with a bit work.

Could someone explain to me the tangent this thread took?
I can gather someone being called Captain Obvious, most probably Carter, but i really don't want to read through it all.
