So, next time you wave that car into the inspection bay, ask yourself: Do you want the stress of the rookie, or the omnipotence of the veteran? On the surface, this sounds like blasphemy
He is using Contraband Police like a flight simulator uses an instrument panel. He isn't playing the game; he is drilling the mechanics.
