I've only ever had good experiences with cops. All three times I've had to deal with cops were when they brought my drunken brother home safely

Oh, didn't see the "negatively" in the title. Ah well

I had an officer pull me over because he thought I was driving a stolen vehicle. After it became clear that I had just purchased a newer car of the same model and transferred the plates to the new car, rather than admit the mistake and let me go on my merry way, the officer cited me for running a red light. I showed up in traffic court and told the judge, along with all the other cops in the room he was a dirty cop. I won in court because the officer was dumb enough to write on his report he pulled me over for suspicion of driving stolen vehicle with no mention of running a red light. I pointed this out and the judge laughed, and said I was also owed an apology and dismissed the case, I filed a formal complaint against the officer too.

Customs agents (border police) took a bag of halal candy that I declared because it contained beef gelatin and I didn't have an import permit for animal products. This was almost two years ago.

I was robbed, they broke a shed window and stole a bunch of tools. Came home with some friends to catch them in the act. We made them sit down and called the police. Really everything was going as smooth as possible, thought I'd get all my tools back and I'd just have to worry about replacing the window. That was until the police arrived. They got my story and my friends collaborated. They asked if I had number for my tools, I didn't, but I had engraved my initials in all of my tools in a very unique way that I developed after some confusion with tools on worksites. Then they asked the guys "Other than these tools on the ground do you have any more of his tools in your car?" They said no. Case closed and they let them drive away. They told me there wasn't enough to search there car and they don't have time to deal with petty stuff like this.

Not even a week later I was pulled over for having a crooked license plate. Same town. After pulling me over the officer said he smelled marijuana and was going to search the car. I don't smoke so obviously he finds nothing after a half an hour of searching.

That's when I realized the cops are no longer to protect and serve. They're here to collect fees for their cities and nothing more.

Not the police but border patrol almost wouldn't let us back in the country after visiting Canada. They suspected us of trafficking drugs for really no reason. They detained us for a couple hours, went through our phones and wallets, searched the car throughout and pretty much had us retrace every step we made. It was really stupid and really nerve wracking that they could do that with literally no grounds to go on. My dad was a cop before he went active in the military and my brother was also in the military and they treated us like criminals for wanting to get back home

I got arrested for smoking weed at a Beck concert by three plain-clothes police officers in college. I didn't even know I was arrested because they just confiscated the weed and gave me what seemed like a speeding ticket. It wasn't until I came back to court 6 months later and they took my fingerprints, mugshot, etc that I realized that I was actually arrested. They wound up dismissing my case but I had to pay a 500 dollar fine and do 40 hours of community service.

While I felt super angry at the time that it happened, it doesn't really bother me now. I mean, I knew I was doing something illegal, so ultimately I have no real excuse. I now live in a state where its legal, but I don't really even smoke weed anymore.

Other that that incident, I've never really had a negative interaction with a cop. The ones where I live now always seem friendly and reasonable.

I live in Australia so we don't have as many issues in America but every time I have had to deal with police all I have witnessed is gross incompetence.

They lowered the bar for entry on the police force to "diversify" the force, now it seems every cop I have dealt with is a fucking loser imagine a fat goofy guy, short overweight woman or a weedy 20 year old with a gun and a badge and you are approaching most of australian cops.

The last time I witnessed incompetence was when I witnessed a motorbike being stolen, identified the thieves and knew of their location, when I called the police and told them they just wrote it in their notepad and didnt do anything for three fucking weeks at which point the bike had been sold.

Dude was robbing our house. We called the police. Took them 2 hours to drive 5 miles. If they managed 30 minutes, then they could've caught him. Now we just keep a shotgun by the door.
