As a Maxima owner (and Police Officer), the disrespect to police on the .org is sad..

example 1 ..i left my dea shield on my seat when i got pulled over once, and the cop searched my car just cause i was driving away from my house when i said i was going home. he says "why are you going south instead of north", i say "the entrance to the highway is south". they ask me to step out of the car they patted me down and asked "mind if i search the car" "go right ahead" ... i didn't get a ticket because of my dea shield sitting on my seat (it was a total accident,i didn't mean to leave it there) ... it was a total accident ... he walked to me and handed me my wallet (i felt my pocket when he had my wallet in his hand, i was confused) and says "who gave you this" referring the to the DEA shield) i said my dad is a doctor and he knows and treats a lot of police officers .. and let me go
example 2 ... have you ever tried to park in manhatten,NYC very very difficult ... i was at my friends cousins house who lived on a dead end street ... there were no spots except where it said no parking ... now me and my friend both park in the no parking zone (mind you this is the end of a dead end street) and i put my dea shield in the window and she puts a pba card in the window ... we come out later, guess who has a ticket ... yeah thats right, not me
pba cards have become such a common item that they lost all their value. You can relate this to paper money. When there is little of it, it is very important. Just like when PBA cards first came out, not many people had them, which made them very important. Cops sees it and says to him/herself "they must know someone really important to have one, better not write a ticket or it'll be my a$$." But when there is a lot of money, it becomes worthless and you can't do anything with it. PBA cards are growing in number and the cards of the future are DEA. (PBA cards with a badge number on it are still high, i'm talking about plain PBA cards with no badge number on them)

I have been in this situation. I used to live in Madison, WI (still go there every weekend anyways), and about 2 years ago the governor decided to multiple the number of police officers and squad cars by two.
The reason? Because at that time speeding tickets are considered "major revenue" and somebody created a model of having twice the number of officers will result in at least doubling the revenue from speeding tickets. Guess what, it worked....for a short time. Shortly afterwards, you could see police officers giving parking tickets....(I feel bad to these guys).
Nowadays, the number of police officers in Madison is "back to normal" and my friends have been having break ins so many times. However, although the break ins are only happening to certain area of the city, the police only asked them to report it every time (the number of break ins are approaching to 40 cars within two months at the same, 1-mile stretch, from one apartment to another).

- I got a speeding ticket when I was 16 and hated cops because of it. I didn't really change my mind until I was robbed at gunpoint while at work a few months ago. The police arrived within minutes of my call and took care of everything. I even got a card in the mail a few weeks later with some information on post-robbery stress syndromes and a hand-written note from an officer checking up on me.
- Thank you, Tallahassee PD.

Some PD's are trying to get it right.
I can understand the views of people who have actually been through an ordeal such as profiling or harassment, but it seems that most people hate cops because they give tickets.
