@freepatriot To be honest I've learned to look at the silver lining here.

For every citizen a cop harasses, tickets or arrests over nonsense, he increases the chance of meeting the one criminal he's supposed to put in jail while decreasing any chance of actually being ready for it. If he's lucky, the criminal will make a good cop out of him within less then a minute.

And before anyone says it. That's not me being ghoulish or morbid. That's how the police and the state they work for operates. They're as aware of the problem as we are but so long as they continue to profit they have no intention of changing anything.
