And if the police wanted to be in your face, constables are much more of a presence than a vehicle.
They aren't obtrusive, they're obstructive--frankly even more, the way they were standing, I was concerned about walking up to them, as I didn't want to "startle" them, but given they were both leaning into the vehicle, and wouldn't have a good view of what's around them....ugh....whatever....so many different problems in this photo.
That's my point: they're not trying to block the station, or the sidewalk. They're not really obstructing anything- you can walk around them, you just have to walk in the street or on the tracks for a minute. But they are obtrusive- they're right in your tracks, you need to pause to think about what to do, whereas you should be able to just walk down the street.
But, anyway, we can definitely agree that there are plenty of problems in the photo.
