I'm also considering halting updates to this page as a duplication of effort, compared to David Codrea's Only Ones Files.
Since my apartment was burglarized on 15 December 2005, I have had to interact with Law Enforcement Officers more than I would like - that is, at all. In light of this interaction and my difficulty concealing my hostility toward these people, I felt it necessary to provide these examples, which have shaped my opinion of the entire Law Enforcement community.
Send me links to Good Cops (if you can find any other than the few below)
Send me links to Bad Cops
Send me links to Stupid Cops
All the links below were tested when I added them to this page. If they've expired since, please notify me.
