Moral to story. Follow police instructions. And laws while you are at it.
Moral to the story. If you are being robbed, just follow the robber's instructions. Moral to the story if you are being raped, just follow the rapist's instructions. Moral to the story, if a jack-booted government thug is violating your rights, just follow his instructions. That would be great advice if we were all a bunch of masochist who love to get victimized.

I don't agree with anyone saying blanket statements like "the only good cop is a dead cop."
Personally any dealings I've had with the police -- from being stopped in my car for an expired inspection sticker, to having to call them myself for assistance -- have been actually very, very positive and wonderful.

I'm sorry I stopped reading your post at that point, so I have no idea what the rest of your post was about.
Saying that getting pulled over and getting tickets for expired inspection stickers, is a very very positive and wonderful experience is right up there with saying, going to the dentist and getting a root canal done is such a very positive and wonderful experience, that I want to go back and get it done again as soon as possible.
I'm skeptical. I have never heard anybody ever say that before. Which makes me wonder why you go through such lengths just to apologize for outrageous police behavior.

Do understand that BirdInFlight comes from the UK which has a very different style of policing then America.

There is a difference between people we elect and pay to enforce laws and people who are self appointed criminals who prey on innocent victims.
Are there bad sheriffs, chiefs, cops? Yes of course. But I still believe them to be in a small minority. The rest are just doing their job. And the most difficult job in high crime America. Only during active war, do soldiers pass cops in danger. The last time was 2004-2006 Iraq.

I did not know that, but it doesn't change anything. I still find it unbelievable that anybody in any country would consider getting stopped by the police to be a very positive and wonderful experience. I understand that many people get tickets, and don't have any issues with it. But when you say that getting pulled over by the police was a wonderful experience, give me a break.
