I don't have that experience. I DID get stopped by a cop, but I had rolled through a stop sign. He didn't give me a ticket but very gently scolded me.
I did live in a 3rd world country, twice. The cops patrolled like they were on the lookout for a good bribe. That would be Mexico.
The Saudi cops, if ever they were visible, were just so very pathetic. They were to avoid.
True story. A Saudi cop stopped my husband on camp. Husband and I WERE racing each other on camp. It was two A.M. and the streets were deserted. Anyway, the cop took my husband to jail, the next day. When the cop in charge of the precinct heard WHY ... he was angry at the cop for doing that. He made the cop bring my husband home.
However, I understand your point of view. I sure wouldn't want to be a cop. Cops are TARGETS for the disenfranchised bad guys. That cop uniform provides a big blue target.
