They dress up in their suits and call themselves officers and often try to obstruct legitimate investigations giving the impression they have authority they do not have. This is one of the many reasons why a large majority of the public hold people in non-productive roles in such low esteem.

Let them either find a more useful role, such as bin collection (never going to happen) or pass on their job to someone with a more open and pragmatic approach to applying data sharing exemptions. Bottom line is, as I am sure you know, it's far better to safeguard your data than share it to prevent your local farmer slowly torturing his stock to death.
