#1 This is courting disaster. If they start turning out expert police, they risk creating master criminals. Not only do police know most of the tricks of the trade, they are not necessarily motivated by the same things that are criminals, so can be damnably hard to catch.

A cop with a grudge, a plan, and a sense of humor, can wreak havoc, and get away with it. Hopefully, if it happens, it will be focused on utterly humiliating and ruining those individuals who foisted P.C. on the police in the first place.

Otherwise, creating several Professor Moraritys may not be a good thing at all.

#4 You know it's bad when the police are handcuffing each other. Crimeney, the chap said "pondlife" not (the more appropriate) "pondscum." What's next, sensitivity courses for what to do when apprehending serial rapists and paedophiles?

I think they already have those--they said something something about taking off your shoes before entering their homes and making sure not to show up during their prayer times.

#6 If calling them "pondlife" is offensive then what is calling them "criminals"?
