As long as one of the judgement calls isn’t based on race. The people of Rotherham have the scars to show for that kind of two-tier policing.
There’s also a risk it rewards the most dangerous, and penalises the idiots trying to steal out of Greggs. Not to diminish casual looting, but it’s a world apart from running round with machetes looking to attack other people in racially aggravated assaults.
