The voice from the police car says this because Leonard
Mead has said that he is a writer. The car says this as if it is talking to
itself.
In my opinion, this is a commentary by Bradbury on
what this society is like. The society is totally rigid and structured. People are not
allowed to do anything that is not like what everyone else does. That is why Leonard
Mead has been stopped by the police -- he is out walking when no one else would
be.
In such a society, a writer would not do well -- no one
has any imagination. So the police car does not even recognize the idea that someone
might write as a profession.
