About the Police

One of the recent flaps that has gone back and forth between real life and online has tangentially brought up attitudes toward the police. One of the important things about modern civic police forces is that they gain their legitimacy through fair, nondiscriminatory and effective police work. So, I wanted to ask people at large.

my interactions with the police have been few and far between, but civilized enough that I cannot fathom why my husband is afraid of being arrested every time we are pulled over. Then again, when he pulled over to the left shoulder to replace a right flat tire, he complained that the cop was being an asshole when he was scolded for not pulling over far enough. (He was sitting on the painted line.)
