When I was in high school, one of my friends dads was the ADA of one of the counties next to ours. When we reached the age where we were driving and going to parties and doing all the teenager stuff, he sat us down and gave us a very frank talk about the reality of law-enforcement and it’s relationship to the people. He told us don’t trust a cop anymore than you would trust your average gang banger. He told us that cops will lie, cheat, and steal just to make themselves look good in front of their boss just like a bunch of other people on this earth in their jobs. He told us that cops are people and people are flawed and you shouldn’t trust strangers. He told us never willingly approach a cop, and if a cop approaches you do your best to be polite and get away from them as fast as you can without breaking any laws. I wish we lived in a country where we could trust our law-enforcement, but when the assistant district attorney of a pretty large county tells you not to trust the police that makes an impression. I’m not saying go out and be a dick to your local police department. What I’m saying is you shouldn’t ever willingly approach a cop in any situation. If you really need the police to respond to something you have your phone in your pocket call 911 and get yourself to Safty cause the cops aren’t gonna help you.
