Since I quit drugs almost a decade ago cops haven't bothered me in the least. <_<

I've never had any problems with police what so ever. Then again, I live in a comparitively affluent area that requires experience in it's police officers, pays them better than any other department in the area, and has strict oversight from interested officials.

So, I've had occasional interactions with them that had been nothing but positive experiences.

They aren't like that just because. They are like that because we watch our politicians like hawks. When people have problems, the politicians have problems. Politicans don't like problems, so they lean on the department. A department that knows that they are on notice doesn't mess around.

It's a matter of investing a little time and effort up front, and never having to deal with people trying to get away with stuff ever again.

We just started talking to one another.

That and free food works, too.

Tip: If you ever say "No I'm not recording" while making a recording, it is inadmissible in court. (*sigh* and I feel terrible for how I found that one out. I hate my job sometimes, I really do.) I do believe in some cases or it could be some counties or states you have to be upfront about the fact you are recording and have the person aware of the recording in order to use it as evidence, but I'm iffy on that one. (Dumbest damn law if that one is true, but I'm thinking it's only in certain cases...) Look into local laws if you really feel that you've gotta nab a dirty cop and remember, dirty cops are probably indicative of dirty judges as well so proceed with caution and VOTE during election years.

Depends on the cop and location of were you are at. A friend of mine is a retired police detective in NYC and calls most cops Nazis... He has spent a lot of years with them and he honestly cannot stand a lot of them (of course his friends in the force is different). The problem is most cops think anything an individual does that they don't like gives them so valued right to arrest you. They create laws that do not exist to put fear into people. Like when a guy is recording on his property cops abusing the law or just general recording, it is legal. Many think it is illegal but it is not illegal. In some cases instead of the cops walking a way like nothing happened, they would actually directly assault the person. I have seen countless video tapes of this and I find it a bad thing. Cops put a bad name on themselves most of the time and a lot to do with the fact that they get easily offended by everything. I remember a cop coming up to me and my detective friends getting our face for just sitting in the car talking. Understandable, considering it was late at night but retarded that he lasted 30 minutes looking up my friends ID. He called the all these background checks on him to make sure he was really a police detective. We didn't even do anything wrong. He picked me up late from work and just wanted to chill in a parking spot for a moment before driving again. He came far to see me, made sense.

My friend was pissed off cause he gave him his badge and it was real. All the guy had to do was call the back of the card if he had such issues. It is highly disrespectful to do what that cop did. In fact, it can get him in trouble because a detective is higher then a cop. When the guy found out he was real, he got into trouble. He wasted money in doing what he did and he called other cops over too. So, yeah, he got in trouble.

Cops just take things beyond a reasonable reason. They do it because they can or because they were not trained properly. Most are not psychologically trained either. Many have gone mental over the years and retired early (like my friend) because they never trained them to deal with massive situations. Many have not even diagnosed and still on the police force.

Cops are both good and bad, but the problem is they cannot be bad. There is no room for it. They cannot commit crimes or cause more issues. They need to be either trained bother or psychologically tested.
