Catching criminals and preventing terrorism doesn't raise revenue though. If the officers in lay-bys were employed as you suggest they wouldn't be generating any income so the Chief Constable would be asking for even more money. Policing today, like the NHS and other so called public services, is no longer about service but profitability.
