The police are moral arbiters - that's what we pay them for

A mother was walking her teenage daughter to school when they saw two semi-naked men having sex. Marie Cragg, 44, called the police who told her to use a different path.

This follows on from last month when Deputy Chief Constable Mike Cunningham said people caught having sex in public should only be arrested as a last resort. He added that it was not the job of police to "take the role of moral arbiter" and claimed punishing those involved rarely solved the problem and could cause "humiliation, breakdown of relationships and the outing of men".

It is exactly the role of the police to be moral arbiters because morals are what underlay the fabric of society. And the problem is that they abrogating their responsibilities which is making society worse.
