Yes. Twice in New York City cops have asked me for a bribe.
Both times I refused.
This was many years ago. I left the city soon afterwards and moved abroad.
More recently, a London police inspector visited my house to inquire about a murder in my neighborhood. Without saying so, and without any particular reason other than that I live in the neighborhood, he was trying to exclude me from suspicion. Fortunately I was able to tell him that at the time of the murder I was attending a formal dinner at which three Law Lords were present.
I don't know if he believed me, but no matter. Within a few months they had caught the murderer, a typical low-life.

By a police officer? No. I've deserved every ticket I've ever gotten. **edit: And I have always been treated very respectfully, by the way... Even got a warning, once, when I deserved a ticket.
Once, though, the secretaries (or whoever does the paperwork) at the police department lost the paperwork on a ticket I had taken care of by mail... I got defensive driving approved, took the course, got the little certificate of completion, followed the directions for mailing in the whole shebang, and sent it return receipt requested. A few days later, I got my little green card back signed. A few weeks later, I got a warrant for my arrest for failure to deal with that ticket. I got the warrant on a Friday and was fearful to drive all weekend. First thing Monday, I went back to the driving school for a copy of my completion certificate, then headed down to police station. They (the ladies who handle that stuff) were very apologetic, and gave me a receipt (or something like that) and took my green R.R.R. card to show to the judge (they even recognized the name on the signature).
It was a bit of a hassle... a worrisome one, at that.
But, poo happens. And if being disorganized were an Olympic event, I'd still win the gold medal. The police station might come in at bronze. ;-)

Why would the Police be blamed for enciting a insurrection whilst it relatively is sparkling to every person who watched the entire video that the pupil substitute into of course contained in the incorrect. Had a "insurrection" ensued i'd have held the youngster(pupil) legally responsible. nice you used the words incite an incident and that i take advantage of the words encite a insurrection which final time I checked would be an incident in an of it self. And the factor remains of course that this moronic new child did no longer do as he substitute into advised via the two the Moderator and the Police. The used of under deadly tension (i.e. pian compliance concepts) substitute into completely justified, each and all of the teenager had to do substitute into adjust to the lawful orders and he does no longer have been tased. Ahh now I have been given you, you in basic terms choose to play notice video games like it relies upon on what the definition of is is. Regardless, the teenager remains at fault no longer the cops.

Yeah kinda... me and two friends were at the beach and this guy who was a 'friend of a friend' jumped in the car when we didn't expect it and drove us to some area we didn't know... then he got out of the car and ran away! Right after that two cops came out of a house we were parked in front of and when we explained the problem and asked them for help... they just yelled at us to move the car because we were in a no-parking zone. They threatened to give us a ticket!

Absolutely!!! Once I was driving home around 4am and I stopped at a blinking red light because I dropped my cell phone. I pulled into my parking lot and parked and the cop came up behind me lights and siren blazing! I was so embarrassed I just wanted him to go away. He acted like a true a** and made a big scene.

There's been no reason for police officers to be mean to me. But I do know 3, and they're really nice people. It could be where you live.

No, I've been involved in a mistaken identity but even then I was treated respectfully.
