I really should clarify something. I sincerely believe that much of the overall problem is due to the ungodly quantity of absurd laws that LE from fish cops to state troopers are tasked with "enforcing" by the revenue agents who decide to fine for these infractions. Seatbelt and other nanny laws, corn on your own property, random checkpoints, hidden speed limit signs, etc, etc.
Couple this with the we vs. they attitudes that these "laws" promote and you have entirely too many interactions over the most ridiculous reasons. Some are bound to go bad when folks have had enough of it and the nanny state gains power. The trooper who was shot during a seatbelt stop in the video above was painful and awful to see and hear, as is the death of an old man who was accosted on his own property for corn.
When there are "Comply at all costs" rules of engagement and absurd quantities of ridiculous laws, the costs will be high, sometimes for the "lawbreaker" and sometimes for the "enforcer". The actual culprits are insulated by those who hire others to do their dirtywork.. Expect much more of it as the various levels of government seek to maintain their current revenue stream from folks who are losing jobs, houses, etc.. We're seeing a taste lately, but it will get worse. It goes much deeper than simply a wardon with an attitude or a lawless corn hunter...
