When you make posts with two statements, people tend to get lost in the meaning and focus only on one. This is why I never bring up the collection of stool samples I keep in my sock drawer.

...public nuisance rather than spending.

Kids out there causing trouble without even having the decency to stimulate the local economy.

Somehow given what I know of cops in that country I doubt that. Open to any evidence otherwise though

So the sane option is to try to pop their wheels and cause an accident, especially with TONS of kids right behind the lead ones?

They may be at low speeds, but imagine if Officer Porky managed to take down one of the first kids before that big section came through. That kid would have then been a road hazard and likely taken out more kids, hurting both the first and subsequent kids in the accident.

It really is too bad Porky was able to walk away after he got hit. Wish he would have gotten the injuries he was trying to inflict on the kids.

but spike traps seem reasonable for a public nuisance?

I'm not shooting you with my gun. I'm just pointing it in a random direction. If your body happens to be in the way of my bullets, that's your problem.

The person trained for high-speed driving is driving at a speed that untrained people claim is too fast for that person's ability in those circumstances while driving for work as an emergency worker?

Dunning-kruger is right.
