The 'Muppetts' are the only ones ON the street though. Your ordinary bobby doesn't very often soil his boots with the debris on our pavements. Oh no, too much like work, and then they might have to nick somebody, and that causes too much paperwork. Nah let them stick to persecuting motorists, and people that CCTV have picked up doing wrong. Thus saving them the bother of detecting any crimes themselves.
