Obviously CP is a mostly middle to upper class white message board so the overwhelming majority of police encounter stories are going to be "Well, whenever I'm pulled over for speeding I'm polite and they're polite and friendly back and I go on my way, by golly I don't know how anyone could have an issue with CPS".
Anecdotally, they are pretty tough and sometimes unfair to minorities in our poorer areas. Random pull overs with drivers asked to prove they're on the up and up, racial profiling etc.
For me it's been mostly positive interactions, but again, white guy. It feels wrong (and such a white person thing to do) to take my personal experiences and hold it over people of other income levels and ethnic backgrounds and say "well, they've been good to me so not sure how other people could see it differently, weird, they must be doing something to attract that attention".
