There still is a few good cops for sure. The ones here state not local/city are total A$$HOLES.......In TX as well, Jerk pulled me over because I had white leds shining from the back of my bike. I asked him, my license plate light was a bright led as well. Why doesn't that one seem to upset you. CRICKETS.......He was just being a jerk and wrote me a $350 ticket for no bike insurance. In WA ,at the time, we didnt need insurance. I told him I was leaving the state and he still wrote the ticket. Mega jerk..........

Re: “For better or worse, from the moment you’re pulled over, you’re at the mercy of law enforcement officers who have almost absolute discretion to decide who is a threat, what constitutes resistance, and how harshly they can deal with the citizens they were appointed to “serve and protect.”
We've (my wife, actually) been pulled over twice since living here. Once was for speeding, the other for crossing into the oncoming lane out of concern that a semi in a parking lot was close to sticking its nose into our lane. Both times, the officer was courteous, professional. We weren't cited either time. The first time, in fact, we got into a friendly discussion with the officer about firearms since my wife was wearing hers at the time.

This is in sharp contrast to my opinion of the California Highway Patrol, who I had an encounter with just about every year. Many were total a$$holes. Since leaving California, I have *never* been pulled over.
