Good cop Bad cop

Here is a blog from a classmate showing the not so pretty side of some officers. http://davesdebates.blogspot.com/2011/07/local-law-enforcement-needs-tune-up.html

After reading Dave's article on corrupt police my first reaction was to disagree completely, but then I remembered getting pulled over for doing one over and having the cop search for 15 minutes trying to find something incriminating on my car. Asking why the registration was in the name of Edd Whittington, my father, and did I have proof of authorization I could use the car made me question his motives. There are definitely some questionable cops. Knowing three different cops I can attest that they are the image of a modern citizen. I would think that the problem lays more with lack of training or management then corrupt individuals.
Dave shows a good point of view that there are police officers that revel in their power too much. The superiors should watch closer but another key part is citizens need to report officers who are acting improperly. My friends tell me if you ever ask for a cops badge and car number the are required by law to give it to you. Get that information and let their superior know what they are doing. So I see Dave's point but I say don't write all cops off just yet.
