I watched through a train door as a guy got thrown to the ground and handcuffed for refusing to sit on the floor when the officer instructed him to. I'm pretty sure the guy just said he is comfortable standing. The cop repeated his command one more time and then lost it.

I got fined more than once for not wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle (they are mandatory in Australia). I got lectured about how if I'm smart enough to go to university, then I should be smart enough to wear a helmet bla bla bla. And if I'm caught not wearing it again they will take away my bike.

When I was robbed and young and naive enough to believe that the cops were my friends, I went down to the police station to report the crime and even tell the cops that I know in which building the criminals live and what they look like. Nothing happened.
