Yeah I have heard the same thing from many people about the Sheriff's, aka rent-a-cops.
I wonder what purpose town cops serve if we have a team dedicated to writing tickets?
Sheriffs are basically like DOT officers. Also, I have never seen a town/city cop with a streetbike before (not saying they dont exist) but I have seen many Sheriff officers on streetbikes. Seems a lil strange to me.
To the other poster that mentioned he has had bad dealings/good dealings with both RCMP and town cops, I guess your experience has been different from mine then... I have nothing but praise for the RCMP.
