Well, I think that's going a bit overboard... Trust me, I hate traffic cops, I hate getting stopped, as I have been so many times, and going to court, as I've had to many times as well... I have a hell of a driving record for only being 20, and yes a lot of the cops that have stopped me are assholes. But at the same time, I've had good experiences with cops. When I was pulled over for a final time, the ticket that would've suspended my license, I explained it to the officer, how I couldn't take a license suspension because at the time I was driving 50 miles each way to school, 5 days a week... He said he couldn't let me out of the ticket (it was like 85 in a 55), but to contest it in court if I felt it wasn't fair and gave me a wink. I contested it, brought it in front of a judge, trooper never showed and I kept my license. He got his job done (meeting quota, although it's illegal to have them it still happens), and it took 2 days of my time to show up in court... Lesson learned. I'm not going to tell you the majority of cops are good people, in fact I'm almost sure that's not true, but all I'm telling you is that some are not there to be a pain in the *** and screw with your life, they signed on for different reasons and got thrown into roles they don't want. Be open-minded, don't judge people by what they do for a living, I thought being a pot smoker, as well as growing your own, you would be able to get that concept...
