Sh$t that I wouldn't want to do, and I suspect that you wouldn't want to do either. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, unless you live in a suburb or the country, I doubt giving out citations is really high on the list of stuff they want to get done in a given day. Being shot at, putting up with bullsh&t from the people they are trying to protect, getting in to physical altercations, etc...no thank you.

All that noted, I understand that there are some real azzholes out there who get off on hassling car enthusiasts (and speeders, in general), but, again, saying you have no respect for cops is pretty harsh. I'm sure if you were ever in need of real assistance from a LEO, you would feel differently.

I'm not an apologist, just saying that I appreciate the fact that most cops have a difficult job that is pretty thankless.
