A woman asked police to provide 72 hours of police protection against her ex-husband.
The police informed her that they cannot just issue orders simply because someone wants one.
That is absolutely correct. The police are not *allowed* to act until a crime is being or has been committed.
Or what? Police to provide protection to a mother because her son was given the wrong lunch order?
Police are not allowed to act on suspicion, nor on unproven accusations. Investigate, yes but act, no.
The alternative is commonly known as a "police state".
Yes, there is a problem. The problem is with the law -- not with the police.
