“It seems they forgot laws and that they work for us.”

That sentiment applies to the entire public sector currently. Ever dealt with some of the drunk-with-power commissars at your local building inspection department?
That said, the police have an uniquely wide-ranging and yes, NECESSARY amount of power in their hands. Too many of them have no respect for the importance and critically important role of their own job, performed properly and professionally.
Not that I personally have much interaction with the police, but I feel like telling SOME (certainly not all) cops. “See that badge you are wearing? You are also supposed to respect it, just as much as I am.”

Some of my most frustrating experiences involve dealing with the county government commissars. It can be like talking to a rock. I have wound up thinking they cannot possibly be as stupid as they act, it must be a passive aggressive routine. Answer the same question the same way LITERALLY six times and they act as though they are asking you for the first time and cannot understand your reply. Then they act as though I am the idiot. They must be specially selected for the ability to look normal at first glance although having an IQ of no more than fifty.
