By reading the comments, so far, I am lead to believe my encounters with the Alaska State Troopers are the exceptions to the rule. I have never had a bad encounter with a Trooper, and I've been checked in the field via pick-up truck, snowmachine, 4-wheeler, boat, helicopter, and float plane.
I have heard several 1st-person accounts of very negative interactions with the troopers, from close friends of mine, so I do believe they happen. I have just been lucky, I guess.
