And hardware stores specifically, especially the local mom and pop ones, seem to attract the older semi-retired crowd that is looking for something to do where they can share their knowledge.
I’m going to play devil’s advocate here: how is the guy on the phone supposed to know it really is the police on the other side and not just some guy trying to scam his way into a freebie?
At the individual level this is actually pretty simple. I work in IT and when I used to do security training the way we’d validate is with a known contact.
In this situation you get the contacting officers name and department, disconnect the call, call the non-emergency listed number for that department and ask for that officer by name.
There’s a lot of other failure point potential in this scenario but validating the person calling is actually law enforcement shouldn’t be one of them.
I feel like the difference in Apple TVs shows versus other streamers is the cinematic quality.
It reminds me of the days when the difference between network tv shows and premium cable shows was distinct.

Back when I was a drinker (7 years sober now) my drink of choice was whiskey in general, bourbon in particular.
That said, the best whiskey I ever had was a bottle of Yamazaki 12 year single malt. I got it as a gift when they just entered the US market and picked up a second bottle for ~$45 at the time. Highly recommended to any whiskey drinker.
This is what it is for me. I’m blind in one eye and wear glasses because I’m near sighted with astigmatism in the other.
It’s really hard for me to tell the difference and most of my library is 1080 or 720 because it mostly looks the same to me. I don’t want to give up the extra storage Ford 4k files.

The information they’re trying to store is public record, no government agency anywhere needs that provided to them.
