An example of over-policing:

There is a bicycle path near my home. One of the local departments occasionally tasks 2 bicycle officers, one foot patrolman, and two cruisers to enforce the helmet laws on a 1/2 mile stretch of this dedicated pedestrian/cycle path.

SEVEN officers to hand out $50 tickets, for two or three hours. Even to children on tricycles!
