A question.

Curious to know what the consensus will be here.

Wikipedia is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) in which participants play editors of a hypothetical online encyclopedia, where they try to insert misinformation that they are randomly assigned when they create their accounts, while preventing contrary information from being entered by others. Players with similar misinformation to promote will generally form "guilds" in order to aid each other.

After being in a few scrapes with the law, I can honestly answer that, for the most part, I have never been afraid of the police. I have always (w/ one exception) been treated fairly.

Once you start moving up the food chain to the other executive agencies, then things start to get a little freaky, taking the Patriot Act and such into consideration. I have always feared the feds, always will (unless something major changes). They have WAY to much power to step into my personal life and seriously [fizzle] things up...for example, that one FBI agent's name who was leaked...that was pretty shady.

I don't know, I have always been told to question everyones motives, so I'm kinda cynical as far as this stuff goes.

But yeah, for the most part, you really have nothing to fear from the police.

Alright, well said.

Do you think your background (social status, race, location) influences your position on these matters?

Under normal circumstances you don't, but there's always that oen crooked cop you should watch out for. All cops arent bad, but the ones that are spoil it for the rest.

Not so much. I think it has a lot to do with how someone is raised, but I could see where those other things could come into play, especially once you start looking at lower income families and inner city people and such.

City cops...ugh...the only run in I have had with them was not a pleasant experience...pompous jackass he was. A few, but not all, city cops/ small community cops can be...hmm, whats the best word for it...deserving of the term pig, even though I hate it when people use that word. It's very dehumanizing, but there are a few out there that set themselves up for it.

So you would perhaps feel that even if you were treated poorly by an officer, the justice system in general would fairly treat you?

I suppose now is a good time to post the Fark link that gave me the idea to post this thread.

Remember, if you're not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to fear from the government

Does this mean the system in question is good, or a best effort?

I don't think it does or is. It has numerous critical flaws that have long ago been done away with by other industrialized nations. Its not close to perfection. It isn't the best system a reasonable person could envision; and indeed there are better systems in use elsewhere. Even inside the US, there are many justice systems demonstrably better than the one in place in Texas.
