Not to say there isn't merit in your argument but there was a video posted on old lemmy where they had a not-a-cop direct traffic because of this reasoning and he got his soul kicked out of him by two huge dudes who apparently didn't like taking orders
There's a reason there isn't a country on earth where this job isn't done by someone with some authority
Out here in South Africa, more often than not homeless people will be directing traffic when the lights are out. Fun fact!
