There are not many advantages to getting old, except one. We really don't care any more. After all, what are they going to do to us? Kill us? Better be quick or Nature will beat them to it!
As I get older (77 shortly), I get more and more convinced that we oldies have a duty to become like Victor Meldrew and complain when the young get it wrong......or when they bend the rules to suit themselves or to oblige their mates. And that applies particularly to the petty officials (police included) who abuse their authority. They work for us, not the other way around, and we pay their wages and expenses through taxation.
