well I can't speak for GA officers, nor can I speak for all AL officers, but I take pride in my job, I take pride in being the one called upon when all hell breaks loose, I take pride in being able to help those who cannot help themselves. I also take offense to the statement that they give anyone a badge and a gun these days. We are underpaid overworked and it took me 5 years and a bachelor's degree before I got hired. Most officers regardless of where they work have the same outlook I do. However, there are some officers out there who enjoy the power trip, you hear a lot about those types because they leave a lasting memory, but how many times do you brag on an officer for giving you a break? I know at one time you have all probably gotten out of a ticket that you deserved.
