Yup. Good police officers who target real crime (rather than going after innocent people one time and insisting they’re doing them a favour and not at all wasting time and resources) are indispensable but people sometimes assume they can do more than they can. Ditto for certain doctors (everyone has their field and no-one knows everything). A police officer can’t section someone and neither can a GP. Police officers are only there because they’re there (to curb public disturbance issues).
