While it has a certain appeal to my base instincts, that wouldn't fly in America. Â Police are responsible for capturing/preventing criminals, not dispensing punishment. Â If the police were allowed to do so, some of them would take it too far.
@Retired_Engineer: I was being a bit facetious when I posted this but it did make me feel good to see these idiots humiliated. However, I agree with you in that it's not their duty and some policemen would take it too far. And like thegoodwife said it most likely wouldn't change anything.
