If you get yelled at for doing something stupid or unsafe to yourself or others then you NEED to be yelled at. Example: Going 50 MPH through a toll booth and you get stopped AND yelled at. You DESERVE to be yelled at. There's just too many stupid people in the world. If you were wrong then GET OVER IT!!!

Most people think cops and judges are on a power trip because maybe they did something wrong and they were acting pretty stupid to begin with and I'd say their attitude might have played some part too. Please understand cops are under pressure daily by placing their lives on the line for us. Granted, some cops and judges ARE TRULY on a power trip but very few I'd say. If you got yelled at for doing something stupid, that would be the least of your worries. If you didn't go to jail and just was just yelled at count yourselves lucky. I know I would. There are just too many cry-babies in the world along with STUPID cry-babies who think of no one but themselves....so "GET OVER IT!!!" like Largecop says.

There is never any call for yelling at someone, unless they are not cooperating or resisting you. There is a polite way to make someone feel like crap without yelling. Its called professionalism.
Here is a power trip story for you though. An officer pulled his cruiser into my driveway after I just jumped my motorcycle's battery off my mothers car. He then proceeded to throw me against the car accusing me of running from him when I hadn't even left my driveway yet...as I try to explain that I haven't yet left my property he asks if I want to add resisting arrest to the charges. At which point I asked he arrest me, and told him this is the begining of the end of his career. As I would have been more than happy to get my lawyer involved (as this was not the first incident of having problems with the police in my town) lucky for him they found the guy as he was about to arrest me. All he had to say was "sorry dude" as he ran to his car and bolted out of there. Now tell me if you think that was appropriate or if he was on a power trip. This is just one of many stories; but the funny thing is, I have a perfect record. So it is not a case of the usual suspects...
I have since moved out of NJ and must say the police in AZ are much more courtious and professional, as I haven't been stopped, cited or accused of anything I haven't done or actually committed. The courts here are a little outta whack though as there is no prosecutor just the officer and judge which is a bit odd, for traffic court atleast who are you supposed to plea with that there were circumstances that deemed you did what you did. It is what it is though...

In this instance I'll agree with you. Not only that, a couple friendly rounds wouldn't hurt. But seriously, across the board, you haven't seen what's out there. Plus there's a lot nobody wants to say because it's so convoluted. Eaily daunting. About now, keeping the law but not trusting anybody is the best bet.

You're not my father. Give me the ticket and shut up.
Trust me, my mother was a dispatcher and I grew up with cops. You're the guy speeding down the road at 85 MPH just like me. The difference is, you don't get a ticket. Why? Because you stick together.

the toll booth thing one can understand. pulling someone over for a license plate cover and badgering and then issuing a ticket is another thing. being in DC, cops can't catch the REAL criminals, and they know it, so they take out their "authoritii" on those they are able to.

Because most of those people in charge use their own opinions while making decisions. Instead they should be looking to the laws created, not creating their own laws.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. I hope that doesn't describe you.
