    I had frequent run ins with the police when I was younger. I was even in a police car on my fifth birthday. Granted, my father was a police officer at the time, brought me Sonic 3 for my birthday and put the siren and lights on for me because I used to really like them.

    As a result of my dad being with Merseyside Police for quite some time, I've got a generally good view of the police. I think they do an important job and certainly one of the toughest around. I admire them and think they do a good job when they work in the constraints of the law.

    I'm in two minds about law enforcement generally. The part of me that has never done hardly anything wrong generally sees them as a necessary force in society; the clever part of me sees them generally as a bunch of men [and so few women] that don't have the ideals of the community at heart; and the part of me that is habitually scurrying and hiding realizes that despite not having done anything wrong, the very way I act sometimes draws negative attention to me.

    I have very little respect for the police. They tend to get bogged down with crap that doesn't matter. I especially dislike the Community Support Officers, or 'plastic policemen', as my nan calls them. A few of them act all high and mighty, but they have no effective powers, such as the power of arrest (they can hold you for up to thirty minutes, and that's it)

    I'm sure you'll be different, though, Araciel.

    I am very glad they are around, and think they do a fantastic job, regardless of the bullting done by newspapers, and the fact that they do occasionally cock up.
    I'd hardly call a significant percentage of what cops have done throughout history, and to members of my family "cock ups". There's a difference between screwing up and intentionally abusing your position.

    But I won't say any more than that. I'm trying to be nice.

    Closest run-in I've ever had with the police was when I had a party and the neighbours complained about the noise. By the time they came everyone had gone anyway

    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush

    The only way the cops would ever investigate a noise complaint in Moncton is if it happened in a place which Americans call the "police station" but here in Canada is known as "Tim Horton's"

    EDIT: Yes, the cops here know that "cops in a donut shop" is a stereotype, they just don't care.
