Answer:she views the police officer as an authority figure

Explanation:

When it comes to an authority figure there is an automatically generated respect in such a way that we found ourselves unconsciously obedient towards such people because we naturally feel bound to respect those in authority. We believe in what they say because we feel they know what is right and what is wrong and we can't be misled by listening to them.
