text: whats your thoughts about the 'police' in general? maybe you were victumised by them? or they helped you out in some way? are you positive/negative towards them? any comments welcomed thanks the police were initially used to protect those in affluent neigborhoods from disadvantaged folks. my experience has been no different. when i drove a beat up crx through nice neigborhoods i'd get pulled over for ridiculous reasons. now that i drive a nice vehicle i've only been pulled over for greatly exceeding the speed limit. in my opinion police officers are rarely around when you need them and ever present when you would like to avoid them.
