I get a double-take for going doorless occasionally from cops, but most of the time they laugh, wave, and accelerate back up to their twenty-over cruising speed.

I find it funny that the officer should phrase himself differently but you apparantly do not? FYI, the police are here to protect you and I. If he didn't pull you over I would have been upset at him!!

It's the general stereotyping that causes problems. The cop who doesn't know the laws he's sworn to enforce is an idiot, proven by name calling when proven wrong. He doesn't deserve respect because he has a job that he doesn't do very well. Then there is the fix-it ticket racketeer. Legit items sure, but when you put the mirror back on right there, let that one go. The cost of a fix-it here in ca rose to $40-100 per violation recently, and that kind of bs is legalized theft. I got pulled over a block from my house for mud flaps, but didn't have my wallet. I had just replaced my steering and was driving it around the block to test it. I told the officer I'd walk over and get my license. He said no need as I'd given him the #. Guess what was on the ticket along with the mud flaps? It is criminal the behavior of some of these people. Respect must be earned, and wearing a uniform doesn't grant you a pass.
There are asshats everywhere. Sometimes officers are given instructions to handle things a certain way and they have no choice. There are a lot of reasons for this, but no officer should ever be rude or disrespectful to anyone who is not rude or disrespectful to them first. True, there are those who don't do their job very well. It sucks to hear from people who have encountered those cops and now believe all cops are a$$holes.It's the general stereotyping that causes problems.
