One thing that always struck me was how much more respect German police got from citizens compared to their counterparts in America. Don’t think it was just the fact they carried MP-5’s though... ;)

I’ve always thought germanic people, including scandinavians, have a far less compromising view of the law. If it’s illegal, you don’t do it. There are no other considerations.
I once saw an American trying to convince a Norwegian to smoke pot... Like arguing with a brick wall.
