How can my fellow brothers in blue feel that they can abuse the laws that we are sworn to uphold?" <br /><br />And then I remember that not every state has a culture of integrity. While it often gives us a bad reputation, our state police are required by policy to issue a ticket if they pull someone over, irregardless if they have a badge or not. I myself have gotten one ticket since I've been sworn, and it was no one's fault but my own. <br /><br />I started out with my integrity. The academy reinforced my integrity. And my agency definitely has sanctions if we loose our moral compass. Because I have a badge does not make me a better person then everyone else, it just adds more responsibilities. <br /><br />My wife's family is "up north." I get to visit a number of blue states with her. It is a bit of a shock to interact with various law enforcement up north and... Well, most of them strike me as being one step up in evolution from being a turd. (Please excuse my french.) I hate to say that in my perception, sometimes the way some law enforcement personnel view the world is almost the same way as some of the criminals view the world.
