And this is a list of the LEGAL stuff that police do.
Many police officers are into drug running, extortion, black-mail, racketeering, and murder.
Yes, murder. Murder 1. Planned, premeditated.
And the po po doesth asketh for thine identity card
and then, the go before their god and chant
"Oh great computer, please tell us if we may busteth him"
And what is in this great computer? Criminals? No.
It is all the people who have unpaid fees to the govern-cement
and anyone that was ratted out by their friends in a plea deal.
(and oh yes, lets see if you are on probation)
Most crimes are never solved, never looked into, so they have no name or ID number to associate with it.
Overall I'd say it's better to try and have the least most contact with police as possible...they are a mixed bag and you can't trust them all.
