I have probably had the normal number of contacts with cops. Most were ok, and none resulted in my detention or arrest.

Be polite, don't show an attitude, and volunteer NOTHING. The less you say to a cop, the better off you are.

Still, I feel that for the most part, the police have zero concept of the sinking feeling, and the whispered "Oh Scheit" that is the average Citizen 's reaction to an 'interface' with a cop.

I feel that way too many police these days are possessed of a profound 'us against them' attitude, and a huge case of arrogance.

While I am not someone with a visceral dislike for (most) cops, I don't trust them at all, and do not want to have anything to do with them, period.
