Pretty much all the police in our area are very good. They keep everything in order.

Where I live the police are decent. They usually come right away after you call them. But, I think it really depends where you live. In the town we used to live in, they weren't that great at all. They would come way late, or they'd pull over people who were maybe 5 mph over and not pull over the person going 15 mph over the speed limit. *shrug* So, I guess it depends.

Wow, where I come from, bad is an understatement...

Well, I guess the police are okay around here, but an annoying thing (that I'm sure happens in lots of places) is that they are never there when something really bad happens, but they are always there for small violations of the law. But at least they are not as bad as breaking the law them selves.

Yes the police around here are stupid.

They arrested someone for something they didn't do. Now, there's a group of people in our village that break the law all the time. When asked about whether or not they did it, the police said "we don't bother with them anymore because we can't be bothered".

^that actually happened. I'm NOT joking.

The police will also not respond to calls about poaching unless they hear "gun". Poaching is against the law, and the police have to respond to calls by law, but they don't.

The police here are perfectly fine...

Amazingly to me, I'm one of the only people here yet without a complaint.

Never have a problem with police in my city, but there have been a lot of cases of police brutality here.

I think police shouldn't devote so much resources to petty violations. They should focus on big things like homicide, narcotics, prostitution, rape, etc. and if they just so happen to come across someone speeding while working one these things they can still ticket them but wasting taxpayer dollars on such menial things seems like a waste of the money they take from my paychecks.

No, but they did push for a huge tax increase so that they could have SUVs that they didn't need.

I protested with my local green group, but they still passed it. (Didn't bother to let the people vote on it...)

Glad in my state we practice direct democracy. Any time taxes are to be increased the measure goes on the ballot. We can also recall elected officials we don't like.

The police where I live are actually pretty decent. Though can be annoying if you're at a friend's house who lives by one and they keep watching you. Reeeaally creepy.
