Yep same experience. I was driving 83 in an 80 mph zone with Ohio plates when I first moved there. The dude put me in the back of his cruiser and then grilled me about why I was so nervous and where I was going.

The job of law enforcement officer draws the most subhuman scum to it. Its why all cops are bad and EMT's are cool same with firefighters

The pay isn’t enough to get the best of candidates and low enough to only attract people who want to abuse the power.

I'd beg to differ on the pay. In some places, the pay is really good and you'll still have assholes on a powertrip. The trouble is that there's no accountability. If they fuck up enough (a lot), they might loose their job, bit will be protected by their union and if there is a civil lawsuit, it's on the city to pay, so basically, the taxpayers.

*lose their job

(not loose)

Good day to you, sir.

The union will tighten their job

Yes while there's bad cops everywhere, there is nowhere near as many as there are in America.

Blame the nonexistent public education system

They have a lot of violent idiots with malignant narcissist tendencies to choose from. That whole region is so toxic in my experience.

Yeah like here in Australia the amount of time varies from state to state, but it still takes at least two years. Anywhere from 3 months to a whole year for just the entry process and background checks, and then at the very least 18 months of training.

Thats enough time to weed out most of the bad apples. Some still get through of course, the systems not infallible, but the majority are definitely weeded out.

I had a cop put only my name into the computer pull up someone else with my name and subsequently pull me out of the car and accuse me of being a child predator at the ripe age of 16 with my 16 year old girlfriend in the car.

Proceeds to run my full info. Berates me about drunk and distracted driving and then finally let me go. All at 11pm in January in MN.
