I have never once had a positive experience with the police. They even wouldn't let me report my passport stolen a few months ago. Other times include getting punched in the back of the head with out warning because I was walking in a park after it was closed (note it had no gates or signs posted). And trying to point out that a bunch of kids where beating on one down the block and they kept trying to figure out a way to arrest me, then they wouldn't even get out of the car and help the kid who got his face stomped in.
I mean I'm glad the police are there and I know they have had a hard job and I wouldn't want to do it or anything. But I have never really found a personal reason to not avoid any and all interaction with on duty cops.
