Like I said before, if I warn my wife that the roads are slippery, I am not telling her not to drive on them.

Now, if I thought she shouldn't be driving on them and I told her so, then that's a different situation.
You warning your wife about the road conditions, would be far different, from an LEO saying the same thing to an ordinary cyclist.
The difference would be, you would be warning your wife out of love, compassion, and concern.
Whereas an LEO would be saying the same warning out of frustration and consternation.
Two entirely different sets of emotion, to the same statement, due to the key people involved in the respective situations.
