I know exactly what you mean. Police Beat in my local paper is what you'd expect for a city - murder, rape, robbery, drugs, etc.

Reading Police Beat in the smalltown Maine paper where I grew up... "Fishing without a license", "Keeping Undersized Lobsters", and so on.

Lots to be said for it.

Same here. Most of the “Police Beat” items are hunting and fishing violations or under-age drinking.
