A small example, but that would be directly not making an arrest where an arrestable offence has occurred, no? Kind of similar to this minor selling of cigaretts.

I see what you're saying but there are dedicated units to tobacco enforcement believe it or not. Also, policing during a huge event like Stampede would be a lot different then a regular Friday afternoon in New York. It would be impossible for the police to enforce everything on a good day, let alone during stampede.
