Well said. That school programme reminded me of the primary school I attended many moons ago - Friday afternoon was set down for "civic duties' which involved weeding in the main (most of us doing the work were glad to get out of the class room for those few hours).
As you noted, it did us good in several ways. Mind you, we also got the strap if we'd been really annoying at the time of our offence.

As far as I'm aware the police are following the directions of the political elite. They generally do a difficult job well, imho.

Mark Mitchell has promised to fix this or he will resign after a year in charge. Hmmm.....Another thought: Re the Alan Hall case, why did the police remove the word "Maori" from the witness description which seemed to have resulted in Hall's wrongful conviction? Orders from higher up or what?

Yes. Have you noticed that lately all useful descriptions of offenders have essentially disappeared from our media? How can the authorities expect communities to help them when no description is forthcoming; literally nothing to help identify the crooks? Odd.
