Bored cop syndrom

When members of the police force in a small town where nothing usually happens anyway, have nothing to do during the winter months, and look for small offences comitted that they would normally look past, such as loitering, smoking within 20 feet of the entrance of a building, spitting gum out in a parking lot, ect. Basically playing the roll of a mall cop, with a "stop or I'll say 'stop' again" attitude.
