This is VERY true. Not widely known that laws, privileges vary per jurisdiction and even sub departments and agencies within a jurisdiction. Furthermore, police have no duty to protect, and operate on behalf of their departments, not thr jurisdiction or its constituents

On a related note, isn't there a motto somewhere "to serve and protect"?
So that's just branding and PR?
