Is there snot in my beard?
Title is apropos of nothing.
The real subject of this thread is cops. I've noticed a hell of a lot of "us vs. them" attitude between cops and civilians, so I'm guessing there are going to be a few people that hate the bacon around here.
My question is: What would you do to fix them. I'm not talking grousing or "kill them all" or anything like that, I mean solid, implementable steps that would resolve whatever problems you have with les flicailles. Obviously getting rid of cops entirely is not an option, it would be anarchy and let's face it, if you are posting at a Final Fantasy message board, you would be somebody's bitch in a world without law, assuming that you'd still be alive at all. The rule of law is necessary, especially for people like us.
Put yourself in the position of someone on a Parliamentary committee (or your nation's equivalent) on reforming the police. You get to make rules that the cops have to follow. Let's hear some rules that would stop the cops from hassling innocent people without preventing them from doing their job entirely. I want specifics; things that could possibly work in the real world. Answers that do not meet those criteria are, of course, acceptable as long as they're sufficiently funny.
OOC: I don't have any problems with the cops. This is probably because I do not drive. Or, for that matter, sell crack cocaine, rape, murder, burn houses down, or commit piracy on the high seas.
EDIT: If any of you are actually cops, butt out. I'm looking for the civilian perspective.
Scratch that; part of the reason this isn't in EoEO is so it'll be viewable to unregistered users. I want to hear what cop haters have to say, and it's only fair to let the other side defend themselves.
