<p>FWIW, different perspective here. After attending FCPD Citizens
Police Academy, I attended FBI Citizens Academy at Washington, DC
Field Office (both fascinating/informative). Again, knowing
multiple FBI agents and officials, I've had pleasant/informative
interactions with them. As a citizen, I both carry an ACLU
membership card and value my dealings with local and federal law
enforcement. I won't quote the tired saying "If you haven't done
anything, you have nothing to worry about" and recognize there
have been abuses but don't feel the need to be on guard. In fact,
both FCPD officers and FBI agents have been helpful when I had
minor issue or questions to discuss.<br>

out and can't find a decent job. What do you do? Fast food
or crime?

<div> I think there needs to be actual education in the
prison system especially for those who have the
possibility of parole/release. We can either spend some
money training, teaching, and educating people or we can
pay for them to come back and live off the state or get
released and commit more crimes. </div>

volunteered with Fairfax County, VA Police Department
for 10+ <br>
years. I know -- and in many cases have ridden with --
officers from <br>
patrol to chief. I chaired my police station's
Citizens Advisory <br>
Committee and serve on the Chief's Advisory Council.
I'm on a task force <br>
developing policies for public safety use of drones --
it's about 40 <br>
people, including police, fire&EMS, fire marshal,
county attorney, FAA, <br>
Audubon Society, business organizations, citizen/civic
groups, and head <br>
of Virginia ACLU. Output so far is a draft 35+ page
manual and all the <br>
info is on <a href="http://fairfaxcounty.gov/uas"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">fairfaxcounty.gov/uas</a>. <br>
<br>
There are 18,000+ law enforcement agencies in the
country so it's <br>
misleading to generalize about "the police" or "law
enforcement". <br>
Fairfax cops I know are honest/honorable/motivated to
do the right <br>
thing. Over the years, policies have changed --
sometimes in response to <br>
national trends, sometimes to community
involvement/pressure, sometimes <br>
to FCPD problems. There's pretty good transparency and
responsiveness. <br>
Fairfax (1200+ officers) isn't Mayberry or NYC
(30,000+ officers) -- <br>
there's no reason NOT to talk to police here; in fact
middle/high <br>
schools all have School Resource Officers whose job is
to TALK to kids <br>
-- not arrest them. <br>
<br>
I'm not claiming that everywhere's as fortunate as
Fairfax -- just <br>
suggesting that all-inclusive advice about police can
be misleading. <br>
