I've always thought Police went by the motto "To Serve & Protect..."

These days it largely seems like To Serve (the public as many victimless crimes tickets as possible) and To Protect each other's interests when a colleague does something unconstitutional.

There are definitely some good officers out there Though. I've had at least 1 experience (in my entire life thus far) where an officer on duty stopped me and wasn't a total dick.

In this one specific case, the officer genuinely seemed to be looking out for the safety and well-being of the neighbourhood first and foremost rather than meeting his quota.
