WHEN a policeman stands and directs traffic, as they put up a hand, cars will stop. But the cars do not stop because of the policeman\u2019s power.

He can\u2019t put out his hands and physically stop a line of cars from running over him, but when he puts out his hands, cars stop because the blue uniform, with the badge, gives him legal authority. That legal authority does what personal power can\u2019t. He doesn\u2019t have the power to stop the traffic, but he has the authority to stop the traffic. The officer is backed up by a department that backs him up.888<\/p>\n
