Its not entirely crazy.
Police exist to follow a very particular set of orders from their commanders (not unlike soldiers in the military). They get told "Keep people away from this building" or "Point this radar gun down the highway and don't come back to the office until you've cited at least 10 people over the speed limit" or "Keep anyone who looks suspicious out of this neighborhood" and they're graded on that task, not on the overarching capacity to enforce all laws.
In the same way you don't need to give a guard dog a chemistry degree, you don't need to give a cop a law license.
The guard dog isn't expected to do chemistry, it is however expected to know it's job ie. Where it is and isn't supposed to be and to be fair if a guard dog kills the sheep the dog don't survive the night. Probably not a good example on your part.
Thanks @KristiNoeme for your input.
But I more meant to say that a dog doesn't have to explain how smells work or why the thing it smells is illegal. Its job is to point and bark.
Street cops aren't expected to analyze the legal angles of their orders. They're just expected to follow orders. Hell, your admission to the police force is often predicated on underperforming intelligence tests.
You've clearly never owned a guard dog or worked ag. Stop pearl clutching shot that's been done since the dawn of domestication.
They don't, they do however have to know what they're doing what smell is good, what is bad, what is uncertain and react accordingly and suffer consequences from bad choices. You're argument is for more specialization in policing which I'm for but I don't think you actually know your arguing for it.
No one is asking them to, but when like 70% of officers do not know thev4th amendment, how it applies and when it does not. Yes, they're willfully stupid, we get that, it isn't however something to accept it's something to change.
