The City of London has a small resident population, but a huge working population, being our equivalent to Wall Street (and the predecessor of). So the police force is just as validly looking after all the employees and corporations contained in the Square Mile. Still doesn't justify them doing stuff with the same legality as enforcing NYC jaywalking tickets.

I know. And the poor artists are the only ones feeling exploited in all the world's industries? Cry me a river. Then go and explain that to all the minimum-wage parents working three jobs, or kids working for next to nothing in an unsafe clothing factory in Bangladesh, or immigrants being used as Olympian slave labour in Qatar.
That's right. Most other organisations would at least say "Mea culpa! We'll try harder next time!" You can certainly believe that had the TSA caught the kid, they would have been trumpeting their 'success'.
