Didn't mean it to sound hostile, just a general thought for Fragony's hypothetical officer-who-wants-his-privacy.

Some jobs involve public scrutiny. Working at checkout for a retailer means you are looked at, talked to and interacted with by many people. If you don't like that, it's the wrong job for you. Likewise, being a model means being examined and judged on a daily basis by strangers. Don't like it? Don't be a model.

To my mind, this applies to the police. You (usually) put on an identifying uniform, go out in public and are authorized to use force on your fellow citizens. It's a unique job with pressures, dangers and privileges unlike any other. If a policeman were to say, as in Frags' hypothetical, that he does not like public scrutiny, then he should find a different line of work. Lots of people want to be a cop. No need to gum up the gears.
