I saw three separate detail officers working with a single work crew on an overpass over a highway last week. And two of them were chatting up the construction guys. It's bad enough that this work is usually unnecessary, but they also get paid in 4 hour minimum blocks, they get to listen to airpods/be on their phones, and they're paid overtime for the privilege. It's like a mafia protection racket.
