I think most people don't have a problem with cops per se, just ones that are on a power trip. That can probably be narrowed down a little further to power tripping traffic cops.

Anytime I have gotten a speeding ticket where I was the only person involved I never fought it because I knew I was guilty. Those times where I was speeding to get around a situation I felt dangerous and got ticketed I fought. And lost of course.

I found the ultimate power tripping cop. I was arrested and JAILED for riding my bicycle on US 19.

Regular (i.e. non traffic cops) I have no problem with. In fact they have my sympathy. Can you imagine dealing with problem makers, nasty, deceitful, unscrupulous people for probably 90+ percent of your day? Ack! Well if you deal with politicians I'd guess you'd fit into that too.
