I am a big supporter of the NYPD and other large city police departments. Small town police departments like mine however are a different story altogether. I think it happened around the time they replaced "to protect and serve" on the patrol cars with 'show me the money". Instead of setting an example, per capa, they tend to break more traffic laws than the average citizen. Speeding in non emergency situations, running red lights, failure to use turn signals, cell phone use while driving, just to name a few. And God forbid, you call them on it, you're hassled every time you leave the house. There is one cop in my town who only pulls over female drivers who are alone. Not sure if he's a pervert or just a pussy, but if you're in my town ladies beware. Once he pulls you over, and runs your info, who knows what's going on in his head. Bad things have happened in other places.
