I think your views on police are mostly appicable in the U.S. because the U.S. has (one of) the most militarized police force(s) in the Western world. Your vie

I think your views on police are mostly appicable in the U.S. because the U.S. has (one of) the most militarized police force(s) in the Western world.
Your views do not match my experience in the Netherlands at all. My largest irritation regarding Dutch police is that they seem incapable of helping with bike thefts (even though all bikes have a mandatory unique ID), and sometimes they give you a ticket for carefully biking over pedestrian ways (excellent shortcuts) or for biking without a light.
However, I do think your post contributed to the discussion because the advice seems coherent and accurate for U.S. citizens and anyone planning on visiting there.
- coldcode 9y agoWhy would you leave such a pleasant country and come to ours (US)?
- cryptarch 9y agoI wouldn't, I don't even consider the U.S. for vacations because the only way in is through TSA country. If I want to have my balls fondled by men in uniforms I can just go to Craigslist. At least then I'll have a safeword.
- tracker1 9y agoThey don't fondle your balls... they take a picture of them through your clothes, that they "promise" will disappear in time. Man, I really miss the 80's right now.
- cryptarch 9y agoThey do, though. They make the body scan and if you jeans with a suspicious 'steel' trouser button, or if they're made of thicker material than is most popular (so basically Levi's 501), you get the patdown, first your waist and then your inner thighs all the way up to your balls. Literally 1/2 times I've flown I've had my balls touched. I wish I was kidding.
