Most cops are out there to help people, and protect people.
Most cops won't give you a hard time if you don't give them a hard time.
In all honesty, the last 3-4 times I've been pulled over in the past couple years I've been polite and walked away with a verbal warning.
Or it was just another cop looking to meet his "performance measures" and looking for drunk drivers and I did something stupid like a rolling stop or not signaling a turn on 4th of July at 11pm. (Both these times I was told to have a good night and to drive safe.)
Do I blame them for it? Nah. If you want to live in the system, you work by the system.
Its that bad few that give the majority a bad name.
Can be guys exploiting the system, green cop with a chip on his shoulder, the idiot sleeping in his patrol car every night, whatever.
They're a minority and unfortunately the way things work with the media and everything else, it makes everyone else look bad.
Yes, that was praising the police from a raging lunatic liberal jack@$$ idiot.
