Absolutely. I mean things like height requirements. Around here you used to have to be 6 feet tall or more to become a cop. Now you don't. I believe it was traditionally done for the intimidation factor and I think there is at least some underlying validity to it. People are less likely to fuck around with a cop that's 6'6 tall than a 5'5 cop.
