There are times when the police are best suited to decide if something is not right.
But calling the police every time you get butterflies is not a good policy.
If you have never had someone call the police on you for something you were doing legally then you will not understand my point. It is one the most awkward/embarrassing wastes of time i have ever experienced and i loath people that go out of their way to be a "do gooder" and try to fix every problem they encounter by getting the police involved.

Lets say you just got done working in your garden so you looked dirty and you decided to walk down your street for whatever reason. Would it not annoy you if your 15 min. walk down the street turned into an hour long questioning session with police because someone called the cops on you?
