Not at all, and I would think police officers make good members of these committees. But to say that is the one group we have to get on these committees and just zero in on them is very foolish. These committees have to assess judges for all kinds of roles. A police officer will certainly bring something valuable to it.
By the way, this “special interest” group talk is just cheap rhetoric. All groups are interest groups. What's special about any of them? That's just a way of insulting all kinds of groups, including police officers and crown counsel. Let's just get that rhetoric out. There are just groups in society. There are no special groups; there are no non-special groups.
Of course police officers could make a contribution, and so could many other kinds of people. It's just that when you zero in on them you seem to be trying to get one general perspective.
And I know there is diversity among police officers. Some of my finest students are police officers, and they have very different attitudes from a lot of the men and women they supervise. But we still know that there's a general pattern. To just stock up these committees with that point of view is a mistake.
