“Cops are going nuts?”
Enough of them are that anytime I see a cop outside of my own county I am frankly afraid of them.
Park County, Wyoming Sheriffs’ deputies are uniformly polite and courteous to our family...even when they are deputies we do not personally know.
California cops, OTOH (and aside from the Highway Patrol) are almost all uniformly THUGS. They’re bullies who like to order people around and they love to destroy your stuff when they search things. When we were moving out of California we got stopped by Placer County sheriffs enough to realize that we were being targeted for some reason. Each time they made us unload our truck or trailer on the side of the road and then one time we had to wait several hours for them to get a drug sniffing dog to go over our stuff. They found nothing.
I will NEVER go back to California. It is a police state and they can keep it.

In my experience living here, MY county sheriffs are great. The Highway Patrol, wardens and rengers are professional and fair. It’s other county’s sherriffs and city cops that you have to watch out for.
