Opinion:<p>1) Police are corrupt. Maybe not all of them, but enough of them that &quot;police are corrupt&quot; is true. This will <i>always</i> be the case.<p>Police don&#x27;t fight crime, nor prevent it. They create it. If you think this isn&#x27;t so you haven&#x27;t had enough exposure to them.<p>Maybe my opinion is coloured by my experience: illegal search of person, car, and house. They ransacked my house, stole money and property from me. It took 27 months to have the case dismissed <i>nolle prosequi</i> and my money returned to me.<p>If you see the police, cross the street.
