I live in a small town but have been pulled over in the neighboring states and numerous towns in the last few months.
Never thought I'd say this; but as someone who has had problems w/ cops in the past; they seem to be MUCH more courteous. I think it is a combo of things; I am older, have been out of trouble a few years; etc. I am white (which helps) but having 5+ positive experiences-- 1 of which could've been serious; cops have been great!
Idk if there has been a push to retrain them or policy changes but I have been impressed.
It's weird never having a positive experience until recently; and I am still very on guard; but not all police are the enemy. Prosecutors like that; bad cops-- they exist and I would never be complacent around them-- but there are people working in a broken system who are good and helpful. My $0.02
