I know a lot of cops and most of the ones that just work at the jail or whatnot are cool. But a lot that do patrols, traffic stops, and whatnot (especially GSP) really do think they're something.
Like the cop giving me a ticket for 30 over when it wasn't my car he clocked and all the junk he said (supposedly he owns a contour and his speedo only goes to 85,etc.). And the attitude from the cops when I was stopped for allegedly street racing (he was trying to screw with me, saying it would suck for me to be charged with reckless driving and driving without a license,,, he had my license in his hand).
I don't get why they expect you to be polite when they're not.
Though I've also been let off for speeding once and for underage drinking, not that that is what should happen everytime.
We've had so many cops arrested from here. In the past 3 years, I believe atleast 10 from the area have been arrested.
Working security while on duty
Shooting a kid and planting a knife on him
Killing his family and then himself
Having sex with an inmate
DUI
Stealing a motorcyclist's wallet after he wrecked
Those are just the ones I can remember.
It's all too easy for people to get a badge and a gun nowadays. You really do have to fear many of the people that are paid to serve and protect you.
