I completely agree.

Power corrupts, and police have power. That being said, they're people just like you and me and (at least in my experience) most of them aren't the complete douchebags they are stereotyped as. Most of them are just ****** off and jaded from seeing the dark side of humanity day in and day out.

In my experiences with police, every time (with the exception of one occasion and that time you could say he had me "red handed") I dealt with them they were cool when they could've made life VERY difficult. Don't lie to them (unless they can prove it), don't treat them like idiots or be a know-it-all and they'll probably return the favor.

I've found that mutual respect can be achieved if they know what you're about... but there are always jerks with guns out there, luckily they seem to be the minority in my case.

Just watch out for the hopelessly crooked/close-minded ones; as a police friend one said to me (I paraphrase): "Some guys you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week, which was the way wants it, well- he'll get it when the time comes, not from me- but it all comes around sometime or another, badge or not!" I think he was partially quoting a Guns n Roses song, but his point is valid.
