i understand your point, but i defer to police on that. they find this practice eeee.. lucrative nad also preventatively forbidding. i think they know what they are talking about. i would let them decide. and would challenge anybody to come up with sufficient "unlawful seizure from an innocent person" cases.
the first link is sensationalist and facetious. erbrechen.
the second one - "Across the U.S., 78% of Americans say they have confidence in local police, according to Gallup — a figure that has remained relatively steady over the last decade. But break down that figure by race and the picture becomes more complex. Only 26% of urban African-Americans have “a great deal or quite a lot of confidence” in the police, compared with 62% of urban whites.
When asked how much confidence they have that local police officers treat blacks and white equally, 35% of whites said “a great deal” in a Pew Research Center poll last year. Only about half as many African-Americans gave that response, and 46% said they had “very little” confidence that African-Americans are treated equally. The poll found more disparities: 36% of whites were confident police did not use excessive force, compared with just 18% of African-Americans." --
Я вовсе не собираюсь заниматьс очернительством и занимать крайние позиции. Полиция моего городка меня тоже всячески устраивает и я совершенно ничего против нее не имею. Тем не менее, существуют известные факты и тенденции. Действительно, рисковать жизнью и спасать Вас они не обязаны. Действительно, все что вы скажете с большое вероятностью будет повернуто против вас. Действительно, имели место факты коррупции и срастания полиции с мафией. Действительно war on drugs becomes ridiculously absurd. И мы знаем, что чем больше власти у чего-то там - правительства, полиции - тем больше опасность отклонений не туда.
