I think this is also a double edged sword. Our society we often times can make judgments towards gender, race, that kind of car they're driving etc. So our perception can also get officers into trouble. We've seen this with racial profiling. Although they are trained on "The things to lookout for". In our society now it can be a negative.

My understanding of this relates to the image below. It seems like with the different careers the dolly is dressed up as resumes on schema. As our careers can often times model our personalities. Which controls how we act. Someone from an office job is going to act signficantly different than someone who is a firefighter.

I have had many experiences like this when I worked as an emt. Many people were just bystanders so it was challenging trying to find a parent or someone who knew my patient and it was quite awkward at times when nobody was around.

Expectations to me is a fight or flight response. You enter a new job you know you could either like it or not. But your expectations set your behavior towards that job. If you assume it's not going to be enjoyable then it won't be. It's important to have possible expectations and be open minded in this concept of communication.

Could the possibility be that the light is bright and we are attracted to shiny objects? Such as a nice car or a big wedding ring. This is what creates the election that then use as interpretation.
