As you suspected, I got a few tickets. The charges were dismissed once the cops lies were exposed in a court of law.
I know why cops think that way. And it is with good reason.
Like I said, it's safer to assume that all cops are goons and take the necessary steps to protect one's self than the other way around.
Corrupt cops should be dealt with, no doubt about it. There is too much real crime occurring to have to sandbag a good citizen. Why any police officer would jeopardize his career and freedom is beyond me. I don’t know where you live, but I’ll assume it’s a small town where police officers are more revenue generators than crime fighters. The majority of police are honest. Sorry that you crossed paths with the minority.
