My 76 years of experience in this world has brought me into encounters with exactly ZERO cops of the kind you people constantly bitch about.

Of course I am a law abiding citizen - don't use dope - am a congenial respectful person and can admit when I have exceeded the speed limit.

I have encountered exactly ONE speed trap that I thought was unethical - but the cop was not disrespectful - he just wanted to do his job and let me get on about my business as soon as possible.

Most of you cop-haters just want to be able to disobey whatever laws you want - you want to be able to 'get in the face' of the lawful authority that has been given the JOB of enforcing the laws you are breaking - hell they may not even be in favor of those laws themselves but have to do it.

Plus all cops are human. I know if I were a cop, I'd resent the hell out of some foul-smelling bitchy hippy who wanted to get 'skate on the edge' of seeing just how much they could get away with while I was trying to do my JOB.

If you dislike the laws the cops are sworn to enforce, then act to get rid of the laws. Act respectful to cops and you will be treated respectfully.

Act like a damned whiney bitch and you just MIGHT encounter one of the 'bad' cops who will whip your arse - as you deserve.

I have never been arrested. I don't use drugs. I don't even have a speeding ticket to my name.

just b.c you haven't had a bad experience, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

for the most part, my interactions with cops have been positive....once I was out of college. In college, I got harrassed pretty regularly but never got into trouble. Having long hair in a conservative area is a flashing light - you need to find out why i have long hair.

Luckily my grandfather was a cop and I was taught the basics of dealing with a cop - YOU ALWAYS frickING LOSE. there is no way to win in an interaction with a cop. They have a gun, you don't. They can kill you.

But I think my upbringing is probably rare.

I still believe frick the police. Yes, most cops aren't assholes but enough of them are to make me distrust all of them.

You're a head-in-the-sand guy who thinks just doesn't happen to you, cops are just fine. It's a version of the "I have nothing to hide, so I don't care if the NSA listens to all of my communications." Pathetic.

And more pathetic...you damn dope heads!
