I'm surprised at how polite this thread has been so far. I feared it would turn into a "fuck da police" thing and then go to shit.
So of you have decenrt erasons to hate them, I get it. But also, I've noticed that some of the stories were " hate the cops because I got arrested breaking the law".

I don't hate the police.
However in my province their are ample reasons
For example, have you ever heard of starlight tours?
A starlight tour is a common police practice in my province where the police take a drunk First Nations person (indigenous/ aboriginal) person, drive him far outside the city, take his shoes and jacket and drop him off.
My province is the same climate as siberia- winters are regularly -30C to -40C.
So starlight tours end in heaven.
Another reason is that they are the primary Instruments of a massive crime against humanity and they break up families and kidnap people and lock them in cages for possession of dried flowers and mushrooms.

It's a score card most likely (a record of drug debts that are evidence against him)

I ran into a good cop last week. We were driving to one of my claims hauling a trailer. We came up behind someone on the highway and I started to pass him. He immediately swerved to the left like he didn't want us to pass but I did anyway, which ensued in a big dick chase. He was doing 45 and I wanted to go 65. Now I had to do 85 to get around him and so when I get over I put on my brakes to get back to the speed I wanted to go in the first place. This dude is so pissed by this point that he's riding my ass as close as he can get. A passing lane came up and he expected me to get over so he could brake check me which I didn't allow of him. He got pissed and passed me on the right with a few feet of clearance before he was cut off by a semi trailer. He makes it by a hair and immediately brake checks me to the point he was almost stopped. It was a dangerous situation so I just went around him on his left while he was busy laying on his brakes. This apparently pissed him off and he called the cops. We had stopped at a grocery store in the next town where a cop approached me about the situation. My gf and I explained the whole situation and then we shot the shit about local mining claims... He told me not to worry that the other guy had a temper issue. I do too but he clearly sided with me in my beat up dented truck with headlight hanging by a thread, no bumper on my travel trailer etc. The guy basically called the cops to give himself a ticket and possibly more depending on how he acted when they went back to him to argue our logical story.

Hahaha you're probably right. Made me laugh either way. You wou;ldnt think a scorecard would hold up ina court of law since anyone can write anything on a piece of paper. Unless he had things bagged up and ready to go or rolls of cash on him that are accurate to what is written down.

Oh no, score cards are definitely evidence against you make no mistake that will be considered highly incriminating against you in a case.

I'd like to know too. Is that Acid he's eating. If so, then that just got a whole lott funnier. I saw it before, but thought it was something else. I dunno, but some cops are nice I have to say. The majority are not from my own experience. Peace & Love

Patlal said: Serious question. No trolling.
Now, excluding the bad apples that kill black people (0.001% of them). Why do you hate them?
A. They are paid to enforce the laws B. The laws are available for you to read C. If you break the law (sell drugs), you know you're breaking the law. D. You know the police exist E. You know lawyers exist to defend your rights
The police's job is to follow the breadcrumbs.
If you leave enough breadcrumbs for them to find you, it's your own damn fault.
If you left so many breadcrumbs that a lawyer can't keep you out of prison, it's your own damn fault.
You know the system exists. You know the rules. You know what you're getting into. You know you should be careful.
Why would you hate the police? If you ever get attacked or whatever and you manage to call them, they will come to your rescue no matter who you are. Even if you're suspect in a murder case. They will respond and they will risk being killed to save your ass.
If you get caught. Blame your stupidity. Not the ones enforcing the law...
A great deal of them are corrupt on many levels. I don't personally know any (that I know of) but they do seem to be self righteous and morally superior in their thinking, and maybe that is why they took that particular job so they can flex those muscles. I know there are some good guys out there. I have run across them at times and could have gotten thrown in jail and/or heavily fined for some of the things they let me go for, but I did get a lecture while I was having to pour all 24 beers out on the ground, and I was with 2 underage people and one was a girl (they were 17-18 and me 21-22), so I have been lucky.
I don't "hate cops", but I feel as though they do have some degree of a power trip, some more than most, and all of them at various degrees. This whole cannabis BS just needs to stop, legalize it so everyone can grow it and there will be zero probs with it, and also legalize rec drug (all of them) use for responsible adults already.

Seriously though it's as simple as this - the laws they are paid to enforce are unjust and harmful.

I don't approve of the actions of the ones that abuse their power, but I don't hate the people that they are.
I think in all social circles there are going to be people that abuse the authority they're given, this is just as true for the counter culture.
I feel like people that say they hate the police, are just being childish, and are just as much part of the problem with the system, as corrupt police are.

I have no problem with the police at all. There are a lot of good people on the force who genuinely want to protect and help others. Fennario is right, there will always be those types of people in every aspect of society. You have those asshole chefs who abuse their authority too and can be pretty fucking brutal at it. Its character traits that are not determined by job title but just how the individual is as a whole. Some people are just power hungry dicks so its not really surprising why they would choose a profession like a police officer.

I don't hate police, I hate the idiotic laws they enforce, like charging people for drug possession.
Laws should exist for the sole purpose of protecting you from other people.

I have had a whole series of very negative experiences with police mistreating and abusing me without reason.
I don't hold that against the police as a whole.
What I hold against them is that they enforce unjust drug laws and use violence against non violent drug users..

Where do you live that they're randomly murdering indigenous people?
At OP: Probably because of harassment from police, being a sober law abiding citizen doesn't insulate on all that much
I don't have a problem with police, but right now I'm a little annoyed at not being able to roam my town at night, the other night I was pulled over walking down the street and questioned for half an hour.
Knowing the way things are out here I'll have to stop taking late night walks or risk catching the blame for a break-in.
