I know it's got to seem that way but they are required to enforce even the most ridiculous laws if they are going to honor their oath.

That's sort of my point - they aren't the type of people to make moral judgements on the constitutionality or even common sense of laws they enforce.

Exactly. Rule number one in the police academy is "you are not a judge". You will have to enforce laws that will, sometimes, break your heart.
