Not especially. A big gripe of mine is that in the US, neither police nor the people who call them ever seem to have any interest in what the laws actually are. I think that’s a paradoxical outlook for those who are the loudest in promoting a culture of “law and order”. It’s also a huge “elephant in the room” which hardly anybody - including those critical of police - even consider.
Phenomena like this “creepy clown” business I think illustrate the problem quite lucidly.
