The article says they were joking.
About police officers following the law to the letter, what if the law is for example wrong or inhumane? What if the law says beat them to death for littering? Do you expect them to always follow that?
I personally prefer human policemen with a sense of humour instead of robots who apply the law to the last letter and read some paragraphs to me.
