So not so young.
I asked because your concern about being disrespected by cops is something all young people feel but get over with age and wisdom.
I’m 54 now, and can’t quite remember when my adolescent animosity to cops as authority figures went away.
It’s never really ever goes away and I still don’t like seeing cops, makes me uncomfortable.
Why would, or should, a person get over expecting respectful and professional behavior from cops? My dignity means something to me. If it means nothing to the cop, I have no intentions of shrugging that off.
In my world, I am expected to behave correctly. I see no reason to expect less of a cop.
