I have mixed feelings about the police as well. I think that alot of them are on a power trip, and like to throw their weight around. But at the same time, they're very important people, and all the naysayers in this thread right now, you bad mouth the police, but who do you call when your house gets robbed?
Side story: When I was sixteen, I wrecked my truck into a ditch. I was completely alone, the vehicle was not blocking the road at all, and I was completely utterly sober. I went to get help, and when I returned the cops were searching my vehicle and preparing to have it towed. Then they told me that I would most likely be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Now tell me, is that not bullshit? I have no cell phone, and I was basically in the middle of nowhere, was I supposed to wait for some cop to just happen by? Because believe me, that would not have happened. And I could understand if anyone else had been injured, or even a fucking dog, but it was just ME, me by MY DAMN SELF!!! I was a sixteen year old kid who had just wrecked his first vehicle with no insurance except for liability, and they still thought it necessary to hassle me. I ended up not getting in any trouble because my grandfather is a pretty big member of the community and he spoke to the sheriff for me, but hell, I didn't even do anything wrong!
