Growing up in a small town I really was NOT a fan of the police. In a small town with relatively no crime and only 1 police officer on duty at a time, there was nothing for them to do but harass and annoy. They literally drove around all day looking for the tiniest of tiny infractions because there was just nothing to do. Imagine driving around and getting pulled over because you have a graduation tassel hanging from your rear view mirror...or your tires are sticking out 1/4 inch (yes 1/4 inch - 55 dollar fine might I add).
With that said, moving from the small town to a crime infested area has given me a whole new appreciation for the police.
