Not just the police. The "ticket inspectors" in commuter trains here are dressed like they are combating urban warfare and are blocking all the exits of a station and funnel people into a choke point until you show them a valid ticket.

Apparently they need a bulletproof vest to check train tickets here.

This reminds me of the bullies that were blocking halls in school until you gave them money.

Maybe it's the logical progression for them.
