I can't speak to everywhere, but here as a general rule the smaller the town, the more likely that the police will be a general azzhole. Our State Police and Highway Police are usually top notch, with just an occasional bad one. Long distance truckers may disagree with the Highway Police one, but they worked out of the Highway Department and I was around them quite a bit, and found them very good. To me it equates to the pay that is available, so the small towns must take what they can get, and then you get a mayor with a power trip, and that is trouble. Couple that with people like me that live out in the country and must by necessity, fend for themselves, and there is room for disagreements. miles
