Being treated poorly by the police...

[deestafford]

You're treated poorly by the police?

Have you tried not breaking the law to see if that helps?

I was parked in Chicago in 1977.  The police showed up and handcuffed me and put me in the gutter in the street.  They searched my '70 vw bug looking for drugs.  One hour later and 3 cop cars later they unhandcuffed me.  I asked why.  They said I had California plates and thought everyone from California was a drug dealer.  Then I pulled out my military id (I was in the coast guard at the time) and they apologized.  You don't have to break the law to get hassled by police.

Dee that statement might be true. But....what if the police are the ones breaking the law?

I was warned in my youth - when in Chicago - don't worry about the crooks...worry about the cops.

There are always a few bad apples that spoil the bunch. Unfortunately all we hear about are the bad apples
