Experience with the Police - good or bad?

100% this.

The people that have a problem with the police are the ones who always have a reason to fear them, or have broken the law and hence been in trouble with them.

Of course, there's some power crazed officers around, just like any job really, but the majority are friendly and really helpful.

Always makes me laugh when people start hating on traffic cops. They're only hated on because the vast majority of people stopped by them have broken the law! People should drive properly then traffic cops are fine.

I'm one of the minority!
My loathing of traffic police stems from being forced onto the hard shoulder of the motorway by one who decided to cut in infornt of me, whilst leaving insufficient space - evasive action was my only viable option (the other involved laying the bike down which is ill advised at any speed never mind at 70 mph). Had the officer been driving properly, there wouldn't have been a problem.

I have a problem with Police, and I've never had any reason to fear them

Then the officer was obviously a dick Should have reported him. It's unfair though to base your perception of the entire branch on one officer/idiot. Like I said before, there's idiots in every organistation.

The police are ***** that got bullied at school and are just looking for abit of power, that's why they love throwing drunks on the floor and shouting as much as they can, it drowns out the memories of them getting the **** kicked out of them at school, they pick easy targets like people falling out of bars but do a u turn when they see a gang of 16 year olds.

Over the past few years, I've needed to call the Police on numerous occasions, and I've been shocked and very upset by the standard of service they provided. I always had it at the back of my mind that if I was ever in a dangerous/frightening position, and required the Police's help, they would provide that help. I just wondered what experience other people have had? It was while we were living in the same place for several years, so I'm not sure whether it was the police force in that particular area who were so unhelpful and ineffective, or whether this is a widespread issue that other people are suffering?

I have no reason to fear them or have ever been in trouble with them. It's just their constant overkill, ineptitude and complete inefficiency which makes me dislike them generally.

Every experience I've had with them has only been made worse by their involvement, whoever called in the first place.

If I was your son I would happily be disowned
