Bizarre. You would think he would have a lawyer in the next office so he could bang on the wall, call them in, and check whether he is keeping within the law. Or even meetings where they all clarify what their position is, and work out the best way of communicating it to the public and their officers.
I guess you will always get a certain proportion of coppers who get a hard-on from the power aspect, though.
Another example, and there have been many lately, of high ranking plod who have come from the Police College and been infused with PC and common purpose directives and I would guess have done very little 'coal face policing' this has to change, Peelian principles long gone.

He and others of his rank (and probably the lawyer) no doubt share a 'common purpose'...
Wonder if this also comes out of the 'Stone Cutter's Manual'?

Like it.
Sam - it appears to be a kind of mission creep which is bound to happen with any large group of people unless it is managed really well.
Ted - that crossed my mind too - been on the courses and absorbed the ethos.
Scrobs - probably, and when handshakes are not allowed we can't spot them.
Wiggia - that's my impression - careerism rather than policing.
James - yes, Wikipedia has its temporary uses.
