Red shows very strict discipline to those with lesser authority than himself (especially the teenagers), from which he seems to take joy. He can also be curt with those in authority, though this trait in him is rare. On one occasion, when Red and Kitty are making out in their car, a policeman knocks on the window, not realizing it is a married couple inside. Red sharply dispatches him and Kitty says, "How sweet, you let him off with a warning".
