It'd be nice if you could back up your feelings with some reasoning.

The neighborhood is safe enough and the community is cohesive enough that kids can congregate along their way to school: go to their friend's house, meet at a park, etc.

It's researched enough that you can go and learn about it and challenge your feelings.

(Not the patent) I'm very much pro letting children roam freely, but police intervention for walking or driving with your own child is clearly overreach. The good intention does not change that.

And even as a German who already spent a lot of time in Switzerland, I've never heard of anything like that.

To join in on the therapy speak: it is very good to challenge one's feelings, let go, and then, by the merit of reason, realize that police intervention for spending commute time with your children is bonkers.

It is just a very unreasonable extension of a very reasonable position.
