I wasn't trying to imply that police of any sort are stupid and/or ignorant. I've got two friends that are or were, an environmental police officer and a environmental wildlife techinian. My comment was, and is, in regard to police often only knowing about specific laws they are told to enforce - and even then, they're are sometimes incorrect. When that happens, it's often due to what they were told, not their personal misinterpretation. I doubt many police-people research the law, on their own, by reading Statutes and case-law. More apt to believe what they are told by their superiors.
Even worse for lawyers. In my experience, many (but not all) of the lawywers I've met know less about "current general law" then people not working in the legal field. They sometimes get myopic, and tend to know much about their own narrow field, and little else. Note, I did not say all lawyers are like this. I have had to corect lawyers that I had hired, many times, about legal errors they were making. Even the ones that WERE working in their own fields. Especially real estate attorneys.
I've gone to court several times here in New York, to fight misapplications of State law. With town supervisors, town highway supervisors, code enforcement officers, county sheriffs, town attorneys, and State police. Much was when police tried to arrest me for blocking a road they claimed was a town highway (and it was not). When it was discovered that the police and the town attorney did NOT know the law, the town supervisor proceeded to take my land by Eminent Domain. They did that wrong too, thank heavens. Otherwise I would of lost my land (and still may at some point in time). New York honors the "quick take" version of eminent domain. That means they can "take first" and "prove their case" later. And if they are proven wrong, they get the land anyway. What a system.
In my case, the town made multiple errors of legal procedure and the thing failed. Pretty much all got screwed up by the town attorney and town clerk, neither one had bothered to read the letter of the law.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
