I've never had a negative interaction with the police. Now, I spent years as a PI and in security, so A) I met hundreds of cops, B) many of the younger guys I worked with went on to become police officers, and C) I approach dealing with officers in a positive way, even if they initially (as happened a couple of times on the job when I was in plain clothes) may have been looking at me with some suspicion.

I agree that police officers react strongly to attitude, positive or negative, as virtually every human being does. When a police officer approaches you and says "we have reports of suspicious activity in the area", you want to say "Really? How can I help?" rather than "Go away, I know my rights, Nazi!"
