What an interesting thread. I think everyone has a good point to what they say. Albeit, I tend to lean on the side of not breaking laws but there are plenty of them that are worthless and senseless (another topic for another day). I think stopping at a stop sign is mostly a good one.

Like everything else in this land there are the good and bad regardless of what side of the fence you are on. Many citizens are in the wrong and many cops are in the wrong. I personally put up with the well trained officers (since each one goes through extensive training) because in a time of need they can be useful. I respect them and show them that everytime I see one and honestly most cops put up with a lot of BS from folks. Although honestly, I wouldnt call the local PD if someone broke into my house. Rather I would paint my walls with the intruders brain matter then call the crew to come clean it up.
