The entire argument that police officers should be out enforcing "real crimes" or something along those lines is overused and ridiculous. I am sure people try pulling that line when they get pulled over for speeding. Sure there are probably other more important crimes being committed that very minute, but the cop saw YOU, not him.

I do understand and appreciate your opinion/comments. However, I don't think you understand where I am coming from.
It bothers me that these programs (the park, xbox in a bag on the subway, etc) are even thought of, let alone off the ground and executed. Whoever is making the call that this is an effective use of Police resources is a f-ing idiot. I do not want my tax dollars spent training and employing Police if they're going to invade people's privacy in the name of law enforcement and whatever the convinient context of the day is.
Complete bull.
