Well they're not totally worthless because they do arrest people sometimes......the only problem is that they arrest the wrong ones. I got arrested for trying to pick up a stray kitten from under a car in 2004. She sped down the street, and said that I was picking up drugs from under the car. This wasn't try so I told her that she was welcome to search me because she wouldn't find anything. That's when she called for backup and a transport unit for my arrest. I When I asked why she pulled her gun out, put it to my head and told me to sit down on the curb. She insisted that I sit on my $400.00 leather coat, which I didn't. I wen to jail along with two other people who were with me (she arrested them because they protested my arrest). The car was towed even though it was only a block from the house and parked in a regular parking space. While in poilice impound the car was broken into, property stolen, and the PD refused to pay for any of it. They kept my license too. Fu*king morons. When it was all over I wasn't charged with anything. I can't believe tax dollars pay those people's salaries.
