Rich,
I think we're pretty much in agreement about the court decisions and you'd probably be surprised by how many officers do act in ways to try to bring the cop on the beat and the man on the street together. Out of 10K + members here on TFL how many bad personal experiences with LE have been posted in these threads? Not all that many. Of course maybe some people just aren't relating their bad experiences.
We don't live in a police state yet. But then again, we're not as free as we were ten years ago.
Justin,
Maybe you should look at hiring on as an officer somewhere. The money isn't bad in some places,(poverty wages in others though). There really is a crisis brewing in the ability to attract quality people into the profession.
